i'm writing Midi app on OSX. And i find there're 2 ways.
1.Core MIDI Server Framework Reference
using the APIs for operating the midi devices
2. Audio Unit
using the AUMIDIBase
i'd like to know what's differece between these 2 methods? And how you guys make choice in between?
any comment is welcomed
This is a pretty small subset of the developer world. You might get better response on the CoreAudio mailing list:
Thanks for the suggestion.
But i found it isn't user friendly enough. Could you tell me how to search contents in the mailing list?
Did you join the list and ask your question?
The only way I found to search it was to download the archive and search on my local computer.
yes i've joined the list and i can receive mails everyday. How can you save the archive to the local pc?
right now i use google to search the mail list by "your keyword site:lists.apple.com/archives/coreaudio-api".
But it's bad that apple doesn't place a search engine there.
If you go to the link I provided and click on the CoreAudio-API link, that page has a link to the archives in the "About" section. It is not that hard to find.
I have found that many people are experiencing the same problem as me, but no solutions posted!
CoreMIDI always "quits unexpectadly" and causes some programs to crash or run strangely, and prevents use of MIDI devices. I reinstalled CoreAudio but nothing changed. I am running 10.6.8. Any suggestions?
yes, i find the apple's documents are not detailed engouh, comparing to the MSDN. For some time, i encounter a problem & can't find descriptions about it in the developer library.
For the problem you stated, i say, are you sending or receiving SysEx message? Some problems come up when i send SysEx msg by calling MIDISendSysex() .
and now i just use MIDISend() for sending short SysEx. hope this help you
