MIDISim | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

MIDISim is intended for testing controller setups without requiring the device to be there. It can create any kind of midi message, thus simplifying the development and automatic testing of complex controller setups. It uses an Event which is passed through so it can be used in Patterns as well.MIDISim.value((midiMsgType: \control, numbers: [0,0,64])); MIDISim.((midiMsgType: \touch, numbers: [0, 80]));

Class Methods

.value

This method creates a MIDIIn event, based on the event given.

Arguments:

ev	// control, noteOn, noteOff, polytouch expect 3 values: // midiChan, midiNum, midiValue (midiMsgType: \control, numbers: [midiChan, midiNum, midiValue]); // channel-only messages like touch, bend, program expect 2 values: (midiMsgType: \touch, numbers: [midiChan, midiValue]);

.noteOn

.noteOff

.control

.polytouch

.touch

.bend

.program

.status

These methods are redirected to MIDIIn methods.

Examples

MIDISim.value((midiMsgType: \control, numbers: [0,0,64]));
MIDISim.((midiMsgType: \noSuchMsg, numbers: [0,0,64]));

Tdef(\spoof, {
    loop {
        MIDISim.value((
            \midiMsgType: \control,
            // varying ccnums, single control value
            \numbers: [0, { rrand(10, 24) }, 64]
        ));
        0.5.wait;
    };
}).play;

// test all the elements of a device
// device has to be phyiscally present!
MKtl.find(\midi);
m = MKtl('lpd', "akai-lpd8");
m.elAt.action = { |el| el.postln };

(
Tdef(\spoof, {
    // play five events for every element
    m.elementsDict.do { |elem|
        var desc = elem.elemDesc;
        var midiChan = desc[\midiChan];
        var midiNum = desc[\midiNum];
        var msgType = desc[\midiMsgType];
        if (msgType == \cc) { msgType == \control };

5.do {
            MIDISim.value((
                \midiMsgType: msgType,
                \numbers: [midiChan, midiNum, rrand(0, 127)]
            ).postcs);
            0.5.wait;
