midicatdrv

This driver is based on the slim midicat tool (see tools/midicat for more information).

Installation

This is driver uses the midicat binary.

Download the binaries (for Windows) here.

Or install them via

go install gitlab.com/gomidi/midi/tools/midicat@latest

(When using windows, run the commands inside cmd.exe.)

The midicat binary is based on the rtmidi project and connects MIDI ports to Stdin and Stdout. The idea is, to have just one binary that requires CGO (midicat) and for all the Go projects that need to connect to MIDI ports just pipe the MIDI data from and to this binary.

This driver connects to the midicat binary via Stdin and Stdout while providing the same unified https://gitlab.com/gomidi/v2/drivers.Driver interface as rtmididrv and portmididrv. But projects importing this midicatdrv will not required CGO (like that would be the case otherwise).

Download or compile the midicat binary and place it in your PATH before using this driver. midicat version >= 0.6.8 is required.
