I've done a quick search on the archive for help on this topic, but I didn't find anything crystal clear.
Basically, I'm running a PD patch on a Mac which is sending (internally, not through hardware) MIDI note on/off pairs to another program (Arkaos). I would like to be able to capture the MIDI stream within PD (or the numeric values on which the MIDI notes are based) into a file for later retrieval. So
- is there a purpose-built object which will handle this? or
There's [midifile] in cvs at externals/mrpeach/midifile. (or here : http://pure-data.iem.at/Members/martinrp/midifile) I don't know if it compiles on OS X but it should.
- can a file be written to disc as a qlist? If so, could someone
describe how to write such a file?
You could take the outputs of [notein], [pack] them into a list along with some kind of time counter, and add them to a qlist.
