SocketError on midi_note_on

jcfischer · December 22, 2018, 8:53pm

Hi all

I just tried to control my (new) HW synth via USB Midi. The setup I have is a Behringer Neutron (USB to Mac), an Arturia Keystep (USB to Mac, MIDI-OUT to MIDI-IN on Neutron). I can play the Neutron from the Keystep via Midi (no problem).

SonicPi sees both the Keystep and the Neutron as Midi devices:

 /midi/arturia_keystep_32/4/1/note_on  [76, 25]
 /midi/neutron/6/1/note_on  [76, 25]
 /midi/arturia_keystep_32/4/1/note_off  [76, 64]
 /midi/neutron/6/1/note_off  [76, 64]

When I try to control the Neutron from sonic-pi, I get the following error:

midi_note_on :e3, 50

Runtime Error: [buffer 0, line 2] - SocketError

The Mac -> USB -> Midi -> Neutron connection works fine (I can use Ableton to send Midi via USB to the Neutron)

I’m using SonicPi 3.1

I’m on OS 10.13.6

Any ideas?

Some thoughts.

You haven’t altered the midi setup AFTER starting Sonic Pi?
If so you must press the Reset-Midi button on the IO preference tab in Sonic Pi (no harm in doing sop anyway).

What does the io tab midi device list show?

Using midi_note_on :e3, 50
will try to send to all ports and every channel.
Have you tried using use_midi_defaults
to set the port “neutron” and channel you wish to use?
(I assume here that “neutron” is the port name that SP is recognizing…see the IO device list)
eg

use_midi_defaults port:"neutron",channel: 1
midi_note_on :e3, 50

Thanks Robin

sorry for not stating that before: Yes. I tried all the combinations with port, channel and use_midi_defaults. I also reset the midi configuration for good measure.
To my (untrained) eye, it seems to be a more fundamental problem with some service from SonicPI (MIDI) not being available and listening.

Try turning on the OSC system and then restart sonic pi. IIRC that’s the error I’d get if I turned off OSC and then restarted SPi.

jcfischer · December 27, 2018, 3:13pm

That didn’t help either - I tried all combinations of switching on/off the Midi and OSC subsystems and restarting SonicPi. I guess I will have to dive into the Ruby Code myself
