Programming with MIDI in Python | Getting started and sending MIDI Messages

I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work on virtual devices, rtmidi shows no available ports. Not sure if I'm misunderstanding this, but with something like FluidSynth installed, shouldn't I be able to send messages to FluidSynth and have it play through my computer audio? Is there a different process to set this up? Thanks!

Thanks, man. Great vid.

Hi, awesome video! Do you know any way to play the notes without the MIDI controller?

I need to convert frequencies and durations into playable notes on piano or a violin, for example. But all i can do now is work with that 16 bit weird sound rsrsr

Thank you

Hi, I keep getting "No module named 'rtmidi'" when trying to import rtmidi in ipython. I already have rtmidi installed but still get this message, thank you 😁

Thank you for lesson! Do you know how to code for ble-midi?

Hello. this seems very interesting.
May i ask you a few questiosn?

Would python be a good choice to develope a precisely timed multi track midi sequencer?
I currently have a working prototype that runs on ruby (sonic pi) but the timing is inconsistent.

Would python be more precise?

My question is about a script with some sort of global variable that establishes the channels used by the midi devices used for any one project or song. I don't know much about midi but how to set it up is on my mind.

Thanks for your video! Which Python Midi lib is the best? (easy, well-maintained, etc)

Cool video! ✨👌🏻

Hey man, why am I getting this error? "AttributeError: module 'rtmidi' has no attribute 'MidiOut'"

A great explanation. Thanks!

Don't know who these people are that find this simple and clear. Up to 12 minutes in, the info was nice and easy and answered a load of questions I had about midi messages, After that you lost me, I kept askin Why? What's one of those and what does it do? But having said that, you have taken me to the next level. Now I need to know how to trigger messages using input devices

I dont have an opz can I use a Akai mpk249?

HI, thank you for your great video !
I have a Lk S450 piano, do you know how can I turn on the light with a midi command ?

Hi, thanks for the video! Is there a way to put a function containing "with" statement inside a while loop? I can't seem to get it working (it stays in the loop and waits, but executes the function only once). If you find the time to answer, thanks!

can you clarify the with? how often should we open and close the port in our app, if we have a 1 -4 chord progression do we create a function for each chord that includes open and close for the port? or how best to proceed?

thanks for the vid: I am sitting and playing with sending CC messages, NOTE_OFF and SOUND_OFF , I have the impression you can "reset" midi-controllers that have gone into bad mode, do you know anything about this ?

Thanks for your video! any chance you could do a basic rtmidi in howto video? absolutely nothing fancy just a basic python script that sits and listens for input from a keyboard and prints the data to the console?

Great vid. Very helpful and clear.
Im working on a new version of my midi rotator as a pi zero hardware version. I’m having trouble changing the midi in or out ports from within my software at runtime. What’s the proper way to reassign an in or out? Do I have to del the port and reassign from scratch? Or is there a simpler way?

awesome info thanks, and you have a great delivery style that is easy to follow :)

That was very simple and clear and helped me a lot. Thank you!

Really appreciated the video. Good job

This is really cool, man. I'm glad it came up in my recommendations
