Hi All!
This is my 1st post here, so please excuse any inadvertent breach of
protocol ...
I'm slowly getting my CoreMIDI coding chops together - and I'm stuck
at one small point, and looking for some guidance.
I'm just trying to figure out how to gather the actual names (as seen
in Audio MIDI Setup) of the synths attached to my system.
After tons of reading of the CoreMIDI docs and the archives here, I'm
able to get the names etc of Devices and Sources and MIDIEndPoints and
Entities etc.(names, manufacturers, device IDs where relevent etc)
but I can't seem to find the right call or function or property to get
at the actual names of the synths attached to my interface (MOTU micro
lite - 5 ports).
In other words, I can get 'IAC BUS' and 'Network' and my MIDI
interface, 'micro lite' - just not the names of what's connected to
them.
The micro lite ports just identify themselves as Port 1, Port 2 etc
whether I get at them thru Entity calls, or Source calls or Endpoint
calls or Destination calls etc. I can't seen to get any more detail
past that.
I can see that Kurt Revis' MIDI Monitor identifies the names of what's
attached to the Ports, so I've been pouring through his code. Just
can't seem to crack it ...
One thing of note is that I've only setup an Output port so far, maybe
one needs an Input port to get at the synth names ...
Anyway, I must be missing something basic. I'm hoping someone smarter
than me can point the way.
And thanks for all the great posts here, it's been nothing less than
fascinating finding my way thru all of this.
