karistouf

hello everybody, i search a little bit in doc and then forum. Seems not to be any Midi INPUTS functions in allegro ( lock device in input, take the note, etc...) any idea or suggestion of a little GNU lib under WINDOWS ?

cheers and a beautifull year to everybody !

No? http://alleg.sourceforge.net/stabledocs/en/alleg029.html
It's a little used feature, so I can't say how well it will work in practice.

Hello and happy new year !
well, its not so clear. I need to have IN directly each note received ...
first I m trying to init the module, but Its not really clear, how to ...
I do not arive to print on screen or to have information about 1 driver number 2 driver for input midi number and of course not that is played by my musical keyboard .
This musical keyboard is connected to my laptop via USB. It is recognized in windows and on other softs as a midi device N° 9.
How to hook it ? that is first my main trouble....

Do not pay attention to quotes missing, I have cleaned from some other functions
... ;-P
