Hi :)

I need a MIDI monitor showing a timer followed by a single received MIDI
byte.

I've got 2 Linux MIDI monitors, gmidimonitor 3.4 and kmidimon 0.5.1.

Both are showing a timer followed by a complete MIDI event, gmidimonitor
isn't good for MTC informations, kmidimon might be good enough for MTC
informations, but I might need the monitor to do a lot of tests, .e.g. I
guess it's impossible to see by this monitors, if the received channel
events are received in running mode or with the status byte for each
event, that's why I wish to have a MIDI monitor showing single bytes,
instead of an interpretation, resp. conversion into text of the received
bytes.

I'm not fine with C/C++ and x86_64 Assembler, especially I'm not fine
with writing C/C++ make files, I tried to do some C++ for Linux some
time ago.

Simple MIDI monitoring for some tests should be possible to do with a
monitor written in BASIC. I found out that the ATARI's GFA BASIC is
nearly the same as Linux's X11-BASIC, but there's still one problem.

TIMER commands seems to be equal for both BASICs. Both BASICs have the
INP command too, but while INP can read bytes from the ATARI's on-board
MIDI, it seems to be not so easy for Linux.

Is there a way to OPEN e.g. an USB MIDI device by something like OPEN
/dev/usb/midi or to connect to ALSA or JACK MIDI clients by X11-BASIC?

Is there a MIDI monitor showing a timer and each single byte, so that I
don't have to program some myself?

At the moment I wish to know what's different between MTC sent by Ardour
and sent by Rosegarden. I can sync a Yamaha RX21 drum computer as slave
with Rosegarden as master by MTC, but I can't sync the Atari's Cubase as
slave with Rosegarden as master by MTC. The strange thing is, that it's
possible to sync the Atari's Cubase as slave with Ardour as master by MTC.

To write bug reports or to find out what I might do wrong, I want to
take a look at the MIDI bytes.

Cheers,
Ralf
