MidiIn

Inputs live MIDI from a MIDI interface or other software application.

The MidiIn contraptions let you route MIDI data from external MIDI sources, such as keyboard controllers, drum pads and sequencers, into contraptions that accept MIDI input.

Instructions

MidiIn contraptions have no parameters or Property Editor. The MIDI devices used for input can be configured on the MIDI Input and Control page of the Settings / Preferences Dialog Box. Go to the Settings / Preferences Dialog Box section of this Help File for further information.

In the AudioMulch patcher, MIDI outputs are displayed at the right side of contraptions. Like audio inputs and outputs, inputs are displayed along the top edge and outputs along the bottom edge. Patch cords carying MIDI messages appear as dotted lines in the patcher. MIDI outputs can only be connected to MIDI inputs. A MIDI output can't be connected to an audio input nor an audio output to a MIDI input.

MidiIn contraptions have a single MIDI output. This can be connected to a MIDI input on any other contraption. The only contraptions that support MIDI input are VSTi instrument plugins and Audio Unit instrument plugins.
