Hello Doug,

I am sorry to attempt to make you even busier than you are, but I would like to ask you whether you think about adding something between "automated" sending of MIDI data to an audio unit and "manual" handling of buffers.
I.E. between AUMIDIControllerHandleMIDI and AUMIDIControllerConnectSource.

We've been under the impression that few, if any, developers have been using the AUMIDIController API, so were in the process of deprecating it. Perhaps we should reconsider this.




I think it would be nice to allow a transformation of MIDI notes and filtering of controllers.
The structure of parameters may looke like this:



SInt16 rcvChannel; //0-15, kAllChannels
SInt16 sndChannel; //0-15, kAllChannels, kDontChange
SInt16 lowVeloLimit;
SInt16 hiVeloLimit;
SInt16 lowNoteLimit;
SInt16 hiNoteLimit;
SInt16 noteTranspose;
SInt16 veloCurve[128]; //transformation of velocity,
//Transform: outVelo = veloCurve [inVelo];
//examples: Linear - veloCurve[ii] = ii; Fixed: veloCurve[ii] = constValue;
UInt32 filterFlags; //bit field
//...and anything you would find useful, as there is probably nobody understanding MIDI better than the author of OMS and CoreMidi...



This is already implemented:

<CoreMIDI/MIDIThruConnections.h>

This allows you to do some fairly sophisticated filtering of MIDI messages between midi sources and destinations - this filtering is done in the MIDI Server.

In fact we use this in AULab's MIDI Thru params editor - Create an AULab document with a synth, and have a look at the synth's inspector window's MIDI tab. This isn't the totality of the thru filtering that can be done, but some of it. AULab creates virtual MIDI destinations for the synths - then any of the sources that are sending midi to this destination are filtered through the parameters described in this way.

Doug may have more to add

Bill

Furthermore, there could be a set of utility functions, sending simple data to the AU, getting to a little bit higher level, than handling buffers, such as MIDISendNote, MIDISendProgramChange, MIDISendVolume etc. Do you, other guys, would utilize it?

Cheers
