Please forgive what might be a bit of a newbie question, but how do I send the MIDI info from my file to my synth using SCAMP? I am using a USB MIDI interface, but have not been able to get rtmidi working (network issues have stopped it from downloading properly).
Any help would be much appreciated!
You mean you have a MIDI file and you just want to send it to a synth? If so, that’s more of a routing thing; maybe just use a DAW
Sorry; bad wording on my part, I shouldn’t say “MIDI”. Rather is there a way to send the notes as they run in Thonny to a synth, without rtmidi?
After doing some looking around on these forums, I saw it suggested that using a DAW as a go-between (i.e. sending musical data from Thonny to DAW, and then outputting as MIDI) was the way to go.
So you’re having trouble installing python-rtmidi? There have been issues lately with that package. You could try this command-line instruction, which has been working for some people:
pip install git+https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi.git@eb16ab3268b29b94cd2baa6bfc777f5cf5f908ba#egg=python-rtmidi
Go to Tools->Open System shell in Thonny, and type that command. It installs a (hopefully) fixed version of python-rtmidi.
Another option is to export to midi file this way:
…and then load that in a DAW.
I entered the post “Newbie looking to implement rtmidi” a few days ago and found this post. I tried the command that was suggested, but I received this error message:
