Hello,

I am developing a MIDI Controller through a USB connection. I have successfully proven the Midi Controller works on Arch Linux with LMMS and ttymidi connecting the two. The goal is the make the Midi Controller cross platform, using Linux, Windows, and Mac. I have solved Linux, I am still working on the last two.

Currently running OS X 10.11.6

With Hairless MIDI Serial, setup with IAC Driver

And the Stable LMMS 1.1.3 for Mac

The Hairless debug option is printing the expected messages, so that connection is not the issue. I believe the issue is within the LMMS software and OS setup, under preferences, I am unable to choose a MIDI INTERFACE. The interface is set to Dummy. The Audio setting is set to SDL, with other options like JACK, and PortAudio.

What is that final piece I am missing to recognize the hairless connection within LMMS? What dependencies or drivers am I missing?

Thank you,
Paul

Hi, Welcome to the forum Plane! Here are all our important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
And a few rules for Avatars, signatures, posting and using the right sub-forum :)

The os10 'support' in lmms is limited, but what i would advise you to do is to post this tech-question directly on the HUB.
Here you may find someone that knows about your issue
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues?q=is%3Aopen
or just open a new ticket here:
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/new
I will also permit myself to be rather 'bold' and ask you directly, if you perhaps could be interested in participating in improvements of the os10 capabilities, in lmms, because the project really need experts in os10 :D

Thank you, I am flattered of the offer to develop, but unfortunately I do not know much about Mac myself. When I realized very little talk was happening around connecting USB MIDI devices to LMMS on Mac, I thought I would ask. I will post this on the main page in the forum and make a ticket. Hopefully someone will know something I we can put the pieces together.

Thank you
