AMidi anyone?
« on: October 20, 2010, 11:40:11 AM »
Hi.

In order to play some MIDI files, i have installed AMidi on my A1200.
Install instructions say that software rendering needs a PPC board, so i use instead the other option called "CMAD", or something like that, that output the midi to an external player. This external player could be, still according to the instructions, any MIDI hardware or the software package available on aminet GMPlay.
So i installed too GMPlay.

Unfortunately, PlayMidi gives me the error message "can't open amidi.device", which of course is present in DEVS:

Any idea? As i have OS 3.1, i can't use the Prefs which use Reaction and i have no clue where is the prefs file for non Reaction OS that is mentionned by the instructions.

Thanks for your help.

PS: AHI v6 is installed too and working.

So, your setup is actually able to play MIDI?

EDIT: well, i do have Classact up to date, and it is not Reaction enough.
The prefs program asks for resource.library. I have added this lib, but then i get a guru.

Yes i have installed the CAMD option.
But the doc says that we can use GMPlay with CAMD, so i have installed this package too.

Here is what i get with a SnoopDOS. I think i need to access this configuration file to edit it by hand but i do not know where it is...
