Can I send program changes through MidiKeys?

[brcambui]

Is it possible to send "program change (PC)" commands to other VSTs (like Amplitube)?

With that, it would be possible to change VST presets through global hotkeys, without the need for physical MIDI devices (I assume, and I may be absolutely wrong).

I noticed that the PC command (apparently) is mapped:

MidiKeys/Source/MIDI.h

Line 20 in 123b2af

kMIDIProgramChange = 0xc0, //!< Data bytes: 0ppppppp

MidiKeys/Source/MidiParser.m

Line 86 in b5ada8d

_dataBytesRequired = (status == kMIDIProgramChange || status == kMIDIChannelPressure)

But I have not found a way to "send" it over MidiKeys.

Btw, MidiKeys is awesome, such a great work @flit!!!

Hi @brcambui, thanks for your support! 😀

Sorry, it's not currently possible. The references in the code you found are just generic support for MIDI.

But, I've been planning to add some new features like remappable buttons/controls. Program changes are definitely something that should be included.
