Nielso<p>So, continuing with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/USBmidi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USBmidi</span></a> on <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/OSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSX</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monterey</span></a>. Now that I have found which of my <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MIDI</span></a> devices works electrically, it turns out <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Ardour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ardour</span></a> can access this interface successfully. </p><p>However, I am having trouble using the MIDI interface with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DecentSampler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DecentSampler</span></a> (standalone) or <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Carla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carla</span></a> (my favorite standalone plugin host on all OSses).</p><p>Both Decent Sampler and Carla don't offer a device selection for MIDI devices.</p><p>So my <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> problem melts down to a) an electronics problem with cheap MIDI interfaces not being opto-coupled as they should be, even endangering the USB-C ports of the MacBook Pro 2017, and b) Certain pieces of software not having a MIDI settings dialog, or there is some mechanism that I don't know yet.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.falktx.com/@falktx" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>falktx</span></a></span> – do you perhaps have a quick hint on how to get MIDI input into Carla on OSX?</p>
