Thanks for getting me started. I can now control my Novation Peak from a Raspberry Pi!!

Don't know who these people are that find this simple and clear. Up to 12 minutes in, the info was nice and easy and answered a load of questions I had about midi messages, After that you lost me, I kept askin Why? What's one of those and what does it do? But having said that, you have taken me to the next level. Now I need to know how to trigger messages using input devices

[MrOpaDave]

That was very simple and clear and helped me a lot. Thank you!

This is really cool, man. I'm glad it came up in my recommendations

My question is about a script with some sort of global variable that establishes the channels used by the midi devices used for any one project or song. I don't know much about midi but how to set it up is on my mind.

Hi, I keep getting "No module named 'rtmidi'" when trying to import rtmidi in ipython. I already have rtmidi installed but still get this message, thank you 😁

I want to make a new musical sound piano roll. How do I start?

[geetapuri]

what if i dont have a midi device connected to my Mac? Can i still program the same way?

[JVmaster]

I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work on virtual devices, rtmidi shows no available ports. Not sure if I'm misunderstanding this, but with something like FluidSynth installed, shouldn't I be able to send messages to FluidSynth and have it play through my computer audio? Is there a different process to set this up? Thanks!

HI, thank you for your great video !
I have a Lk S450 piano, do you know how can I turn on the light with a midi command ?

[MoacyrPradoNeto]

Thank you for lesson! Do you know how to code for ble-midi?

[TheCautionwetpaint]

Can you write a program that compares the current midi input with a stored midi song from a database?

[RobbyKilgore]

Great vid. Very helpful and clear.
Im working on a new version of my midi rotator as a pi zero hardware version. I’m having trouble changing the midi in or out ports from within my software at runtime. What’s the proper way to reassign an in or out? Do I have to del the port and reassign from scratch? Or is there a simpler way?

[stephen]

can you clarify the with? how often should we open and close the port in our app, if we have a 1 -4 chord progression do we create a function for each chord that includes open and close for the port? or how best to proceed?

Hi, awesome video! Do you know any way to play the notes without the MIDI controller?

I need to convert frequencies and durations into playable notes on piano or a violin, for example. But all i can do now is work with that 16 bit weird sound rsrsr

Thank you

Thanks for your video! Which Python Midi lib is the best? (easy, well-maintained, etc)

Bit of a newbie here, who managed to stumble upon this video. Is it possible to use python running on a raspberry pi 4, in order to route midi messages from a midi-over-usb device to a groove box? I have an akai mpd218 and would like to try to write a script which would allow me to use the velocity sensitive pads, to control a Roland MC101. I think in this instance the Raspberry Pi would be a kind of a host/hub, or an interface -- I am not clued into the lingo unfortunately :/
