Hello,
This may be a beginner's programming question, but I hope a little guidance earlier in the learning process will go a long way.
I'm working on an app that has MIDI sequencing, and learning Cocoa programming as I go. The lure of having much of the glue code taken care of by using Core Data is strong, but I'm wondering if it's the best environment for dealing with so many MIDI structures.
I've written a simple app that uses entities as 'wrappers' for things like MIDINoteMessage's. They have properties like note number, velocity, duration, etc., and each one has a custom implementation that also sets that value in a MIDINoteMessage (an instance variable in my custom class). For every property I'm writing code that is separate from the Core Data environment. It works - but I'd like to know if there is a better way.
My question is: is this a smart direction to go? Or should I be working without the added layer of Core Data? Am I missing the right way to make a MIDI structure (like MIDINoteMessage) a functioning property in a Core Data entity?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,
Kevin
