How to send MMC Start event to DAW? about drywetmidi HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi,

You should use StartEvent class. Please let me know if it works.

Hi, I have created and outputDevice bind to a virtual port.
Cakework uses that virtual port as inputDevice.
I send StartEvent using outputDevice but nothing happens on Cakewalk.
I do receive the Event Sent from outputDevice event handler.

Oh, I didn't notice that you talk about MMC. MMC messages are just system exclusive ones. The library doesn't contain dedicated classes for MMC messages at now (but I already have it in my backlog), so you should use NormalSysExEvent. According to this article – MIDI Machine Control – Play message is:

new NormalSysExEvent(new byte[] { 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x06, 0x02, 0xF7 })

Please try to send this event and let me know if it works.

Just a quick question: On the internet i found that Start MMC is F0 7F 7F 06 06 F7. Why don't you use F0?

from drywetmidi.

F0 will be written automatically by NormalSysExEvent. In the Wikipedia article I don't see Start message. 06 means Record Strobe (AKA [[Punch in/out|Punch In]]).
