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
