Midi-Input sample

Using the midi-input sample bundle

The midi-input example bundle in samples/midi-input demonstrates the ability to read data from a midi device.

Prerequisites

Working NodeCG & nodecg-io installation
A midi device that can be connected to your computer

Configure the midi-input sample bundle

Start nodecg with nodecg-io installed. The Twitch-chat bundle is currently part of it so it should also be loaded.
Go to the nodecg-io tab in the nodecg dashboard.
Login using your password. If this is your first run, then enter the password with which you want to encrypt your configurations and credentials.
Create a new midi-input service instance using the left upper menu.
Enter your device information

The created instance should be automatically selected, if not select it in the upper left menu. Enter the name of your device in monaco (the text-editor on the right) in this format:
```
{
    "device": "name"
}
```
After entering it, click save. Note: A script is provided to list all inputs and outputs. It can be run from the sample directory samples/midi-input using the command npm run list. The devices should be listed with their device names and some other stuff. under linux this looks for example like this:
```
nanoKONTROL2:nanoKONTROL2 MIDI 1 28:0
```
Note: If you don't see monaco on the right, try reloading the page.
Set the created midi-input service instance to the service dependency of the midi-input sample bundle.

Select the midi-input bundle and the midi-input service in the left bottom menu and then select the service instance that should be used by the midi-input bundle (in this case the name of the previously created midi-input instance).
Check the nodecg logs

You should see an error or a success message and all midi messages that are sent by the device that is configured.
