Regarding PROBLEM 1 with MIDI-In: Is the OMN MIDI-Entry process using a library? I didn't find any information on that (? midi-entry.pdf). And if not, I would like to have the possibility to make a workaround with external software, (to bring the MIDI-Entry to work), like I did with MIDI-Out and the MIDIPipe software, but it is not possible, because there is no transparent MIDI-in port in OM I could choose. (I'm sorry, I'm not an expert in MIDI programming, perhaps I dont understand basic things). Until now I dont know how to use Korg minilogue XD as midi-entry keyboard in OM for OMN-entry over MIDI, because it does not work - it shows a silly behaviour deleting again already entered notes ... Regarding PROBLEM 2 with MIDI-out: this one I did, (it was the attached file "korg_minilogue_xd_debug.lisp") my problem is, it doesn't work as it should. It works only WHEN piping the OM Midi-out through the external software "Midipipe") ... I did it: here the code of the def-sound-set I wrote and used in the test: And here is the code of the testing-file: NOTE: [in the testing-file I use the function "get-port-nr" here the code: ] I hope you can help me ... Best regards!

I think there is some incompleteness in OM regarding MIDI (on mac). Why it is not possible to choose in- and out-ports like in other SW, f.e. PureData, or even "small" SW like midipipe or pocket-midi? I have problems with using "Korg minilogue xd" (hereinafter referred to as MXD) with OM (Version 3.0.29206 (3.0.29206)). When i call (midi-destinations) with connected MXD the result for minilogue-ports is: (12 . "MIDI OUT") (13 . "SOUND") But the correct names of the ports are: "minilogue xd SOUND" and "minilogue xd MIDI OUT". The MXD has 4 ports, 2 out and 2 in: minilogue xd SOUND", "minilogue xd MIDI OUT", "minilogue xd MIDI OUT", "minilogue xd KBD/KNOB" and "minilogue xd MIDI IN". Why OM cannot recognise the correct names like Dorico, PureData, midipipe, pocket-midi etc.? Ok, this would be not a great problem alone - but was suspicious. And the problems actually followed: PROBLEM 1 with MIDI-In: I tried to use Korg minilogue xd as MIDI-entry for OM, and it doesn't work - it shows strange behaviour and deletes passed-in notes again. With Dorico and the other mentioned SW there is no problem. So the error is not in the MXD, I suppose. PROBLEM 2 with MIDI-Out: My goal is to use OM to control and play the MXD over the OMN-articulation mechanism (which f.e. is described in "Program changes inside the OMN form"). This time simply to control program changes. So I defined attributes (prg1 to prg500 - MXD has 500 programs, 200 as presets and 300 for users) and a sound set (here reduced to some selected programs): korg_minilogue_xd_debug.lisp And here is the test: MIDI connection minilogue BUG.opmo This is the resulting score: OM seems to recognise only each first program from every hundred, i.e prg1 from the first 100 (= 1 to 100), prg101 from the second 100 (= 101 to 200) and so on. That means it recognises the LSB, but ignores the program number: The correct way to change a program on the MXD with MIDI commands is: (cc0 0 cc32 0 0-99) for prg1 to 100 (cc0 0 cc32 1 0-99) for prg101 to 200 ... (cc0 0 cc32 4 0-99) for prg401 to 500 It does work when I send the command from the pocket-midi SW, but not from OM. When OM sends (cc0 0 cc32 0 0) or (cc0 0 cc32 0 4)* MXD changes anyway to Program 1 *(it should to 5), when OM sends (cc0 0 cc32 1 0) or (cc0 0 cc32 1 4)** MXD changes anyway to Program 101 **(it should to 105) and so on. BUT: when I connect OM to MXD indirectly over the midipipe SW, simply by passing it on, then it does work! Does it mean?: OM is sending some incorrect or incomplete MIDI commands? Is there an interrelation with the wrong port-name recognition? I would appreciate the correction of the possible bugs, but also, if the mac users of OM get the possibility to transparently control the MIDI-In and MIDI-out ports like in other software, f.e. in PureData.: I think it's obvious that the MIDI handling in OM (on the mac?) needs improvement. ===== The used computer: I made a mistake in the picture of the resulting score. Here the corrected one:
