Prerequisites

You need to make sure you have the PortMidi library installed.

On Ubuntu / Debian:

apt-get install libportmidi-dev

Arch Linux:

pacman -S portmidi

On OSX (Homebrew):

brew install portmidi

On OSX, if you get a linker error ld: library not found for -lportmidi, either,

• make sure you have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed, not just Xcode, or

• make sure you have the PortMidi library in your $LIBRARY_PATH, e.g. for Homebrew:

  export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
  

Examples

Examples can be run by cloning the repository and running cargo run --example <example name>.

• play: demonstrates midi output by playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (forever…)
• monitor: demonstrate midi input
• monitor-all: listens on all-input devices and uses threads and channels

Example: cargo run --example play -- 1 --verbose

Both play and monitor need a device number supplied, run them without an argument to get a list of the connected devices, e.g.
