Thanks. So where should I be looking in the code base ? I've never got involved 
in Gimp development before. I'd like to give it a shot when I have time. Maybe 
it will be clearer what is needed for MIDI slider/knob input when I look at the 
code.

It might also be just because of some bug in the directx input module.
It hasn't been extensively tested. I will have a look at it again
someday.

Sorry, no idea. I would guess not.

I wrote the directx controller module, but it was a quick hack, and I
haven't looked at it since.

There is a MIDI module for Gimp on Linux where you can map Midi events
to Gimp actions. I have no clue about MIDI on Windows and/or DirectX.
But if you figure out a way to get access to the raw MIDI Bytestream it
should be fairly easy to adapt the MIDI module.

Maybe this helps (and sorry for not spotting this message earlier)

Bye,
 Simon

[Gimp-developer] MIDI input controllers on Windows.

2007-12-08 Thread barney holmes
I'm new to the list, so hello !

I've used Gimp for many years. Previous experience: I'm currently doing some 
development on NASA world Wind ( http://djbarney.silentflame.com/moc2ww/ ).

So, according to schumaml on Gimp IRC, I'm the only one on Windows who has 
expressed any interest in controlling Gimp via a Midi controller (in this case 
my M-Audio Oxygen 49 Keyboard that has various configurable 
slider/knobs/buttons http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Oxygen49-main.html ).

Don't know how true that is. Can I be alone in this ? As far as I see it, using 
a Midi controller is no different from using a pressure pad / pen  tactile 
control. I don't know if this area warrants lots of development, or even if it 
will catch on, but Apple for example has some software that supports Midi  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Motion

I managed to get the Direct X input controller working with my Joystick. The 
buttons trigger various things OK, but I can't get the Z Axis to control 
sliders (the paint brush radius for example). Might be something I've 
misunderstood about the setup though.

Does MS Direct X input include Midi device support ? My USB Midi device and 
normal Midi did not show up in the list ... but maybe they can be supported 
through Direct X ?

So, any suggestions appreciated. I'm new to Gimp development. Who is working on 
the input module ?
