[Csnd] midiout in csound vs CsoundQT

The Csound Mailinglist

Hi everyone!

I’m encountering a rather bizarre behaviour, where there is the expected midi output if I run a .csd from CsoundQT, but there is something else happening when I run from the terminal (on a mac).

I am sending PitchBend messages and in CsoundQT everything works fine.

If I run csound from the terminal, however, there is only two PB-Messages being sent, one at the very start and one at the very end. The last one being 8192 (the “0”), regardless of what the last message I am trying to send actually is.

Both from the terminal and inside CsoundQT I’m running version 6.18.
In both cases the midi output connection (portmidi device) is the same, no additional midi options have been activated in CsoundQT.

If I use the “Run in Terminal” option in CsoundQT, I get the same faulty behaviour I am experiencing by directly running the patch in the terminal manually.

Can anybody guide me into the right direction?

Cheers

yes, I can confirm csound 6 cli frontend here is also not sending the pitchbend messages, but CsoundQT works (both with portmidi and with internal midi).

For what’s worth Csound 7 (command-line) works perfectly.
