How to read midi input signals from usb attached keyboard

[bellscotcv]

Can anyone give me the steps for how I would read midi input signals from a USB attached midi keyboard AND/OR midi output from common audio recording software if it is running local to same PC that flowstone is installed on?
Thanks in advance.

First start with a MIDI In component or an empty module where you have added a MIDI connector.
Then link that MIDI connector to any of the following components:

MIDI Aftertouch
MIDI Control Change
MIDI Pitch Bend
MIDI Splitter
MIDI Mono
which all output Integer values.

The 'Sysex to String' component will obviously output String values.

Here's a brief example where my keyboard controller is sending Control Change Message # 74 with a value of 15 (everything is in base 10):


Make sure your USB attached keyboard is recognized by FlowStone.
This can immediately be seen in the list of connected devices in the MIDI IN component.

'Hope this helps.
