MIDI on Cabbage's csound binary

Hi,
I had a lab session yesterday with iMacs running the csound version shipping with Cabbage. When using the -M flag we still couldn’t get any MIDI-devices/drivers up in the compiler and no MIDI-events triggered. IS this csound version built without MIDI?
Best, Andreas

It most certainly does support MIDI, we use it all the time in this way. Are you sure you selected the MIDI input using the Audio device settings. Cabbage uses its own MIDI IO, not the ones provided by Csound. You should add the following to your CsOptions ti disable the Csound one:

-+rtmidi=null -M0

Then make sure you select your MIDI device from the Audio settings. It will see whatever devices you have plugged in. After that you should be good to go. The default instrument template, when you select to create a new instrument, automatically sets up these CsOptions flags. All you have to do is select the device.

Hi, thanks for the reply and the fix. Seemed a fresh install of 6.08 solved the problem anyway, but good to know :slight_smile:
