It is very simple. I want to connect a MIDI program change to a shell script execution. For example, if MIDI program change 5 is detected, it would run a shell script that plays a file with ecasound or ogg123; if program change 2 is detected, a shell script would execute an ecasound chain. Four requirements: 1) Associate MIDI program change numbers with arbitrary files. 2) Listen on a MIDI channel for a MIDI program change event. 3) When a program change is detected, execute the file associated with the received program number. 4) After file is launched, return to listening mode and wait for another program change. To allow MIDI sequencer output triggered by a program change, it would be nice for the the listener on the MIDI-In be assigned a channel, but allow global playback of MIDI-Out on all MIDI channels. Why bash/shell scripts? I need the Linux distro to be small, fast, and able to run on recycled hardware or a flash drive. It may also run headless, or with a very small display. So far, the hardest part appears to be getting the MIDI Channel and program change info. --- Carlo Capocasa <capocasa@xxxxxxx> wrote: > I don't think there's anything available but I could > code you a small > utility if you like, sounds like a fairly > straight-forward task... > > What exactly do you want to use it for? > > Carlo > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
