UPDATED - MiniAucle stops working

[ChamomileShark]

hi, I've asked this in the ChucK forum but so far no joy.

I'd like to be able to use ChucK to create sequencers / sequences which are then played by VSTs within Cubase.

I'd like to check first by sending some simple MIDI from ChucK just to test the set up

I looked at the code in the Kadenze course and also some elsewhere and the simplest example I came up with is;

MidiOut mout;
MidiMsg msg;

if( !mout.open( 0 ) ) me.exit();

144 => msg.data1;
52 => msg.data2;
100 => msg.data3;
mout.send( msg );

1::second => now;


I've set the MIDI out in Chuck as LoopMidi Port and in Cubase I have LoopMidi Port as the MIDI in.

I hit shred it plays. Hurrah! Then I hit play again and it all locks up and I get a "Programme not working" message for the miniAudicle.

Then I realise it's not playing the VST. It seems to be playing a GM piano - even if I don't have Cubase running - or even LoopMIDI - not sure how that's happening.

I haven't had the same issue using PureData or Reaktor (standalone) - they all route the MIDI via loopMIDI ok.

Any ideas?

Hi,

it seems an issue with the virtual MIDI port. have you tried with different DAWs/softwares?

cheers,
