Building on what I could find here: More about Controlling Patterns with MIDI
I’m trying to start/stop a Pattern with a noteOn/Off message from my keyboard. I managed to find a way to do that with Patterns that trigger the default Synth (or any other Synth) - but I run into trouble when I change the Pattern to \type, \midi.
Here’s the code that runs as intended, triggering the default Synth:
(
// noteOn
MIDIdef.noteOn(\noteOn, {
arg val, num, chan, src;
~keyboard = num;
~pattern.play
}, chan: 0);
// noteOff
MIDIdef.noteOff(\noteOff, {
arg val, num, chan, src;
~pattern.stop
}, chan: 0);
// Pattern to be triggered
~pattern = Pbind(
\midinote, Pfunc({
Pwhite(~keyboard -2, ~keyboard + 2).asStream;
}),
\dur,0.2
).asEventStreamPlayer;
)
But what I really want to do, is to send MIDI. But this one doesn’t run. Only does one note for each key-stroke, with the error message ‘already playing’.
(
MIDIdef.noteOn(\noteOn2, {
arg val, num, chan, src;
~keyboard = num;
~midiPattern.play
}, chan: 0);
MIDIdef.noteOff(\noteOff2, {
arg val, num, chan, src;
~midiPattern.stop
}, chan: 0);
~midiPattern = Pbind(
\type, \midi,
\midiout, m,
\midinote, Pfunc({
Pwhite(~keyboard -2, ~keyboard + 2).asStream;
}),
\dur,0.1
).asEventStreamPlayer;
)
m = my midiout.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thx,
LP
