Sending midi out of a TouchEngine?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hey, I’m working on a project using VDMX and Touchdesigner. We’re trying to send midi messages out of a TouchEngine loaded in VDMX but no luck.

Is using a midioutCHOP in an TouchEngine within another software even possible?

I guess the output device needs to be defined within this software as well so would there be a way to get the device ID from VDMX and use it in the TouchEngine?

Thank you!

There’s a table that the midiin device CHOP refers to with the device IDs and names and stuff. You’ve got to copy that table or another one like it into your COMP and refer the midiin CHOP to it.

I’ve had other issues with using midi in and/or out in the engine COMP but this was an important part in getting it to work if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the tip! So you were using the EngineCOMP in TD and not as a TouchEngine in another software right?

Yeah engine comp in TD but I would think it works the same in TouchEngine.
