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

You will need a working nodecg-io installation. If you have non yet take a look at installation guide. You may need to install this bundle, so take a look at the “Try an included sample”-Guide. It will also tell you how to log in and how to use the GUI.

You also need:

A midi device that can be connected to your computer

Configure the midi-input sample bundle

In NodeCG, create a new midi-input service instance.
Enter your device information:
```
{
    "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
```
Set the sample's (midi-input) dependency to be the newly created service instance (of type midi-input).
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.
