Title: Divert Computer Keyboard to the Script
Post by Lynn on Jan 7^th, 2003, 8:42pm

The scripting feature is great. I am using it to provide "one touch" midi prog-change messages, mapping the COMPUTER KEYBOARD keys to midi prog change messages. Unfortunately, you do not divert the midi note on/off messages generated by the computer keyboard to the script.

So I have to run TWO instances of Midi-Ox, so that the computer keyboard midi messages generated in the first instance may be piped into the second instance via Midi-Yoke, in order to be translated by the script.

My wish: to have the computer keyboard generated midi be divertable into the script -- all within a SINGLE instance of Midi-Ox.

Unfortunately, that wish is not feasible, as the scripting data is all routed and diverted in the MIDI Input callback, while the keyboard data is output via a different mechanism. Changing either of these things would add latency and decrease reliability.
