A few CoreMIDI questions:
-- Is there a Gestalt check for CoreMIDI functions? Or do I assume that
OS X
always has CoreMIDI? Couldn't find mention in the docs.
Not that I'm aware of. You could always weak-link (or can you not do
this with macho?) and check before calling any CoreMIDI code.
-- I really miss the OMSDeviceMenu functions: New/Get/Set, etc Are
there any
plans to add this in? It would simplify making connections.
-- I might be misunderstanding something fundamental, but without an
equivalent to an OMS Studio Setup document, how are we supposed to make
connections? For instance, if I have a piece of equipment putting out
MIDI
Time Code, how am I supposed to find it to make a connection? Does each
app
have to create its own setup doc (seems unlikely)? Does each user have
to
memorize what port number each piece of equipment is on (ugh)? Does each
MIDI Interface manufacturer create a studio setup document and make it
public to other apps???? If anyone can explain the thinking on this, I'd
appreciate it.
There is a "studio setup" document:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.<hostid>.plist.
In Jaguar, there's an Audio/MIDI Setup application that lets you manage
your studio visually, very must like OMS (surprise, surprise ;).
