Hi
What is the best way to find out if two midimessages match?
Say I want to do something when a certain message is recived how can I compare the incomming messagewith my "target"?
By creating a function with a bunch of nested if/else comperators ?
Or is there a more clever way of doing this.
Could I simply compare the raw midi bytes in a fast way?
You could just check the sizes and do a memcmp.
Odd that I never added an operator==, but I guess isn't actually not a very common thing to do, as you normally would want to compare things like midi channel, note number, controller type, etc. rather than just comparing two events in their entirety.
Hi
Thanks for getting back to me Jules. You are right most of the time you would want to do a more detailed comperasion.
But a classic case would be to check if Message Type, Channel and note/controller number mach.
Maybe I can create some nice function for these cases. like "compareMessageType" etc
