MIDI on MicroPython

1

Hey there! I cannot figure out how to run MIDI commands through MicroPython. Could I please have some help in the area?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kin,

To clear some details up for future replies:

  • What dev board are you using/looking to use?
  • Are you looking to send/receive MIDI commands? (or both? Filter/Parse them?)
  • Are there any other general points about your project that might assist in helping other Makers answer?

Hello Liam,

The board I’m using is the Pico W. I’m looking to send MIDI commands. Some general points would be that I want to control the faders on a DMX interface such as GrandMA 3.

Hi @Kin271838

I’m reluctant to offer my own thoughts. I’ve implemented midi before, but not in micro-python.
When I’m stuck on a project I jump on github and read some other peoples code for inspiration.

I had a quick scan through this implementation which looked clean and readable. :+1: It’s hitting all the important marks and I reeeaally like that table he’s put in the top README. Makes it look easy.
Maybe it will help you :slight_smile:

Was there something specifically you were stuck on?

P.S. Behold… your new bible. :open_book: :latin_cross:

Hi @Kin271838,

I’d like to know a bit more about this project and Implementing it in MA3!

As for Midi with MicroPython there’s not much out there but this series of blogs from Kevin may be a good starting point especially for wiring up this project.
