There is no midi message. The string @message is just a visualization of an address in RAM, where a midi object once was created by Ruby.

Not sure if it helps you Walter...
But I got a result in the Midi Analizer by adding "Midi.new"....
SysEx F0..F7 11 bytes
Code: Select all
def init
@message = []
end
def event i,v,t
if i==0
@message = Midi.new "#<Midi:0x1b21526c>"
output 0,@message,t #ime
end
end

@tulamide: I thought so.
@billv: nice idea but - see tulamide's answer...
btw: How are u dude?! Newest project of yours?
Is there a way in FS to record and save/reload Midi sequences?
P.S.: I also need CC's and timing recorded 2 (not only notes)

Yes, there is. The critical part is the timing. If you are recording premade sequences from the DAW, then you can use the ppq info for the timing. If not, you can only use Ruby's timing, which is reliable down to 10ms.
The basics of a recording are simple. Everything in Ruby is an object, so you can just add the incoming midi object, together with the timing info, to an array. For saving/loading you can use Ruby's marshalling.
I don't have the time to make a demo, but you can find an example of marshalling in my ACM (advanced color manager), where it is used to save the user defined color palettes. Only difference is that you wouldn't save/load on schematic saving/loading, but through some trigger (probably an open/save-dialog).

I'm very sorry, I just realized that I used marshalling in Apex, where you don't have access to the code. In ACM only the standard schematic marshalling (loadState, saveState) is used.

Yeah - i heard about the 'Marshall' routine but didn't had the time to look into it...
Maybe someone here can enlighten me and/or give me some good links 4 more info...
Thanks in advance!
Walter
btw: will have a look into ur ACM...

My source of choice for Ruby is always ruby-doc.org
Here are 2 pages that you need to use marshalling and saving/loading:
http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Marshal.htmlhttp://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/IO.htmlOn the first page you'll want to read everything, but the keywords are dump and load
On the second page you'll be interested in binread and binwrite
Combined it is really easy to create files that contain the current state of any object, for example:
Code: Select all
IO.binwrite("myfilename.myending", Marshal.dump(myobject))
# writes a serialized binary version of myobject to the file myfilename.myending
Code: Select all
myobject = Marshal.load(IO.binread("myfilename.myending"))
# loads back the serialized object from the file

GREAT! Nice to have feedback, and impressive that you could work it out without real demos!
