[ANSWERED] Midi to Start and Stop Movie Player

[Konrad]

I have a button on a Pi Pico that sends this midi message when 90 3C 7F is pressed and 80 3C 00 when released. Now I want to use it to start and stop the "Moie Player". How can I process the midi message sent by the Pi Pico in Isadora 4?

First step is to make sure Isadora is receiving the MIDI message.

So first, open Isadora, and then open the Midi Setup window (under communications/Midi Setup...)

Set Port 1 to use the port your Pi Pico is sending out to.

Then open the Monitor window (menu: Windows/Show Monitor). Ensure MIDI is checked.

Then send the messages from your Pi Pico, and you should see them in the Monitor.

Thanks, I see the midi message in the monitor, now I need a midi in-watcher, where can I find it?

Is it MIDI CC? then use a Control Watcher. Is it MIDI notes? then use a Note On Watcher.

If you click this icon, you'll see a list of all the MIDI actors.

Thank you, that helps me!

You can use the search bar found above the Toolbin to search for all 'midi' actors, or double-click in the scene editor to open a quick-search to find required actors directly in the scene editor.
