Dual-MIDI-Interface.ino

Dual-MIDI-Interface

This example demonstrates how to group together two or more MIDI interfaces, so you can send the MIDI output over both MIDI USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI, for example. MIDI input is received from all interfaces as well.

Also have a look at the MIDI_Pipes-Routing.ino example, the MIDI Routing module and the MIDI_Pipe documentation for more information about MIDI routing.
Control Surface can be used as both a MIDI sink and a MIDI source.

When you call Control_Surface.begin(), it automatically connects itself to the default MIDI interface (MIDI_Interface::getDefault()).
If you want to route everything manually, you have to connect it before calling Control_Surface.begin(), or you have to disconnect the default pipes before connecting your own, using Control_Surface_::disconnectMIDI_Interfaces().

Boards:

AVR USB, Nano Every, Due, Teensy 3.x

Connections

• A0: wiper of a potentiometer

Connect the left terminal of the potentiometer to ground, and the right one to V_CC.

Behavior

• When you turn the potentiometer, you should receive MIDI Control Change events on both the Serial MIDI interface and the USB MIDI interface.
• When a MIDI Note event for middle C is received on either MIDI interface, the state of the built-in LED will change accordingly.

Mapping

• None

/*
 * The vertical pipe operator (|) is used to make a bidirectional connection

 * You can also use unidirectional pipes. These can be connected using the 
 * stream operators (<< and >>).
 * 
 * For example:
 * 
 *     MIDI_PipeFactory<2> pipes;
 *     ...
 *       Control_Surface >> pipes >> usbmidi;    // Output to usbmidi
 *       Control_Surface << pipes << serialmidi; // Input from serialmidi
