Send midi to different midi devices targets

Community Usage questions

Hi,
In order to avoid feedback issues with my daw (Studio One), I have to define different midi devices as my input/output. This comes with the issue that when configuring a widget's target, only gives me the option of either send or receive midi.
I'm thinking that there's probably a simple way to receive midi in a midi device, and send on another. I've been trying in the button scrip onvalue, but no luck.

Is there a way to solve this? Have a target for incoming midi, and another target for outgoing?
Thanks

Hello Carlos,

I also use two different ports to avoid MIDI feedback.
What I did was to create two different virtual MIDI ports in loopMIDI called toOSC and fromOSC.
In the midi OSC server configuration field I typed the following:

oscMIDI:toOSC,fromOSC

The a:b,c syntax represents the following:
a: your custom port name, to be used in the widget's target prop;
b: virtual midi port for MIDI input (created in loopMIDI);
c: virtual midi port for MIDI output (created in loopMIDI);

Then, in your widget osc inspector section use the target as
midi:oscMIDI (the same port name used in a).

I hope it helps.
Cheers

Hi Clelson!

That did the trick! Didn't knew it was possible! Now I have bidirectional communication! Thank you so much! Muito obrigado!
