Midi

Is there a Way to receive midi notes from another app?
-
Is there no midi with Pythonista?

@robertiii , I am not trying to answer your question, but I found one topic about it, here is the link. But i did a search on tags. So i just wanted to mention, when you write something on the forum here, its helpful if you also take the time to add tags to the post. I am sure I have seen more about midi on the forums, but its not so easy to search here. Tags are pretty good though

Go to google.com and paste this into the search box (not the URL bar):

@cook, hey are you still around. We lost touch when I took a break from coding. But I still use the the tool you made to search the Pythonista forums. It wasnt entirely finished but its still quite functional and useful. Just wondered did you repo the code, do updates etc? I know it was a long time ago, but I think it had real promise. Love to hear what happened with it.

I guess I have found a solution.
By MIDI we're talking about MIDI messages, not handling standard MIDI files (which isn't a problem in Pythonista).The most viable option I see atm is using a proxy app like MidiFire from Audeonic (available on the iOS App Store).
Open the "other app", run MidiFire and add an OSC module and a MIDI source or destination, depending on your use case.
Then connect the modules you've just added.To communicate with MIDI messages between Pythonista and your app of choice, all you have to do is send and/or receive UDP packets containing MIDI wrapped in OSC messages.
Have fun :)

Here is a quick example for sending midi from pythonista. I am using MidiFire to process the messages as discussed here. https://audeonic.boards.net/thread/734/adding-scripting-languages-using-midifire. My midifire setup to send out midi consists of an osc block connected to an event monitor connected to a midi output block.
import socket # addressing information of target #fill in your ip and port IPADDR = '127.0.0.1' PORTNUM = 8051 # enter the data content of the UDP packet as hex msg1 = bytearray([0x90, 0x40, 0x60]) msg2 = bytes.fromhex('903e70') #or using variable for midi note message midi_message = '903c50' midi_packet = bytes.fromhex(midi_message) # initialize a socket, think of it as a cable # SOCK_DGRAM specifies that this is UDP s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 0) # connect the socket, think of it as connecting the cable to the address location s.connect((IPADDR, PORTNUM)) # send the command s.send(midi_packet) s.send(msg1) s.send(msg2) # close the socket s.close()
