Hi there,
I’d like to be able to know when a midi device is connected / disconnected, on Win32 and Mac. Or at least if there has been any change in the number of devices connected. As far as I can see, Core Midi should be capable of doing such a thing, but the necessary method (juce_mac_CoreMidi.cpp::globalSystemChangeCallback) is not implemented.
Any news on if / when this will happen?
Cheers,
Tim
AFAIK there is no way of doing this using the Win32 API, or on Linux or Android. CoreMidi and the WinRT MIDI API do provide ways of getting a notification when the devices change but adding this for a couple of platforms and not others isn’t ideal.
If you look at the MidiDemo the way we get around this is by starting up a timer which polls the connected devices every 500ms to check if they have changed.
Right, that is a solution I hadn’t thought off, thanks!
