This is for the VJ app I’m developing: Luz. (If anyone is stuck coding for MIDI without MIDI hardware available, as I was until today, I recommend the QMidiControl app to see what sliders/knobs send, and Rosegarden for notes on/off.) I ended up with the PortMIDI library, which is working great: it lets you enumerate MIDI input (or output) devices, open the ones you are interested in (I just open all inputs, which may or may not be ideal behavior), and poll them for waiting MIDI messages. When researching the available technologies, I didn’t find it obvious which API to use Linux doesn’t seem to have any blessed CoreAudio equivalent yet. the XSP is invisible in the dark, except for the power LED in the center.the sliders and knobs have some dead-space at their extremes of movement– that is, they report 0% or 100% slightly before they physically hit their limit, and.

The 10 buttons have very satisfying clicks, there’s no mistaking whether you pushed one or not.ĭespite the overzealous markings, all controls are actually generic and can be assigned to any action you like. With Pro Tools M-Powered and an M-Audio interface, you can work anywhere, anytime with the industry standard in music production software You can open sessions created in Pro Tools M-Powered software with any Windows XP or Mac OS X Digidesign Pro Tools TDM or LE system, giving you unprecedented production options for your music. The inner 6 knobs have grooved positions at 50%, the outer 6 knobs and all five sliders move freely end-to-end. The 4 vertical sliders have a bit of resistance to them, while the horizontal (crossfader) slider is much more flickable. It’s USB-powered so there’s just one cable. (I imagine any “class compliant” USB MIDI device would work.)


It was detected and worked automatically in Ubuntu 8.04. My X-Session Pro (XSP) arrived in the mail today.
