[Csnd] Multiple MIDI Input Devices?

Subject[Csnd] Multiple MIDI Input Devices?
I believe Rick made this developer request some time ago; I don't recall a 
response to it.

What I'd like is an expansion of the -M flag, to include a comma-delineated 
list of input devices.

Example (for Windows): -M0,8,11

The idea is for a .csnd file to be able to recognize and process MIDI input 
from several devices.

Such would not be necessary if USB controllers had "USB Thru" comparable to 
"MIDI Thru." Or for that matater if there were "USB Merge" similar to "MIDI 
Merge" boxes.

I realize the MIDIOx can do this in software on the PC, and there is a 
comparable utility on the Mac. (I'm thinking though of Linux on the OLPC.)

I want to stay away from a software utility, however, as I need to keep 
everything as simple as possible for kids (OLPC).

This would appear to be a rather minimal developer task as long as PortMIDI, 
etc., allowed it. I suppose, too, that the implementation would involve 
supporting MIDI libraries for the various platforms. (I'm particularly 
concerned about Linux, as I'd like to get collaborative Activities developed 
for Sugar that involve kids using multiple MIDI controllers on the same 
OLPC. The controllers I want to use are all USB, as they wouldn't require an 
additional power source.)

I'd appreciate developer response on such a possibility.

Hi,

I implemented it (not exactly but made it possible to listen to all
MIDI devices) only for PortMIDI, and the PortMIDI module is not
included in the XO version of csound, only the alsa MIDI module is
available. The alsa sources contain some helpful information. I'll see
if I can cook something.

Cheers,
Andrés

Great! How can we use it via PortMIDI? In the syntax Art suggested:

Also something nice about the -Ma feature is that it will work even if
there are no devices connected. So you can leave -Ma all the time
without having to worry about Csound compilation errors due to
incorrect device numbers.

Hi Andres,

Thank you for your contribution.

I much prefer your new method  to using -+rtmidi=null as was needed in
some previous versions to avoid compilation errors.
