Getting started with MIDI 2.0 development
Membership plan: Getting Started | Topics: Creative Coding
Course overview
This workshop will provide developers with knowledge and code for starting MIDI 2.0 development. At first, the concepts of MIDI 2.0 are explained. Then, the participants will co-develop a first implementation of a MIDI-CI parser for robust device discovery, and for querying and offering profiles. For that, a stub workspace will be provided. Exercises will let the participants practice the newly learned concepts. Last, but not least, this workshop also includes automated testing as a tool to verify the implementation.
What you'll learn
- Session 1: MIDI-CI, Profiles, protocol negotiation, PE, UMP, Concepts, Tools and MIDI-CI Message Layout
- Session 2: Workspace setup, Starting with a unit test, Implementing a MIDI 2.0 message parser and Implement MIDI 2.0 discovery
- Session 3: Making the parser more robust, MUID collision handling, Multi-port and MIDI Thru issues and unit tests + implementation
- Session 4: Use CasesSending and receiving Profile messages, Implementation and tests and Quick introduction to PE and to UMP
