Realtime MIDI input is not working with Windows Csound6 from the 6.00.1 
installer (the most recent version) - or for that matter, 6.00 either..

The only MIDI input that *does* work (in 6.00.1) is the virtual MIDI 
keyboard, with the flag -+rtmidi=virtual. (Note the message below saying the 
virtual keyboard is enabled, even though it hasn't been requested, and 
doesn't appear on screen.) No external MIDI devices seem to function, 
virtual flag or not.

Has anyone been successful with MIDI in Windows Csound6?

Does anyone have a hint as to why Csound freezes (run from the console) 
without displaying either a list of MIDI or output devices, yet indicating 
that both PortAudio and PortMidi are enabled (see below)? There are no error 
messages; two CTRL-C's are required to end the run.

Here's typical console output with only these CsOptions:
-odac -M0 --expression-opt -b128 -B2048 -+raw_controller_mode=1
(my test .csd works fine in 5.19D)(substituting -M1 or -Ma get no different 
results either)

Puzzled -

It has been working fine for me (in 6.00.1 in Windows 7 64-bit) using midiin
to receive CC data. I haven't actually tried sending any notes to trigger
instruments. I'll try it tomorrow and report the results.

For reference, the MIDI is coming from an M-Audio Axiom-61 via USB, using
its own driver.

Tested with CsoundQt 0.8.0. Triggering instr 1 using MIDI notes on channel 1
works fine. I'm using portmidi and assigning it to the correct MIDI input
device in the Configuration box.

The latency is sorta sucky, even though I'm using Asio4all as the audio
output. But that's a separate issue.

Hi,

Is latency bad also from the command line, or is the problem only in CsoundQt?

Cheers,.

Seems to be about the same -- at a guess, around 50ms. It may be slightly
longer in CsoundQt, but that's a subjective judgment, and I may be wrong.
