MIDI hades

[Cliff307]

Hey all,

I‘ve been exploring using python on my Mac to drive patch changes to 3 keyboards. It just loads a csv file in a tree view (table). Each row is a song so clicking on a row just the patch changes for that song. It’s very simple. It was working great and then when making a cosmetic tweak it actually crashed python. The port was still discoverable via Bluetooth but would not accept patch changes. I rebooted everything , cme WIDI master devices, mac computer. Even reset the WIDI. whats weird is that it was working for 2 weeks or so and now it recognizes the device via Apple MIDI and the WIDI app itself, but I still can’t send a patch change.

i even turned the lights on and off a few times …. Any pointers, ideas or even sarcastic comments? . I think i still have some old midi cables lying around, but the las thing I need is more cables.

Sorry for the verbosity and stream of consciousness but I’ve worked all night trying to fix it and very tired.


Thanks again,
Cliff

Hey Cliff, that sounds like a real MIDI nightmare. It’s strange how everything looks connected but the patch changes just won’t go through anymore. Since it worked fine before your tweak, I’d start by reverting that cosmetic change and testing again. If that doesn’t help, it might be worth trying a different Mac or MIDI app or even swapping in a good old MIDI cable just to narrow it down.
