Life-based Systems Project Update 03

Progress feels good. I'm finally making sense of my components.
Also, the ofxMidi exampleOut project is very informative


  • The reason I was having problems integrating MIDI into my project (and considering using wav) is that the openFrameworks ProjectGenerator script does not successfully add the ofxMidi addon package to a new project (most likely the fault of the maintainer, not the ProjectGenerator).
  • The MIDI backend for windows is RtMidi when using the ofxMidi addon. This makes setting up and using JACK or another MIDI backend unnecessary, and makes my sketch much more portable.
  • Microsoft (at least my build) does have a default MIDI port that routes to the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. Fortunately, ofxMidi is able to map to this port by default.
    Not to mention, I don't need another program to also output the audio.
  • The example projects for ofxMidi now compile properly on my machine, significantly reducing the amount of code I need to figure out myself

More soon...
