Well the Network ‘08 dinner turned out to be a blast, with lots of interesting people to talk to. Turns out that the guy who invited me, Michael, is a really nice and dynamic guy in person - not that I suspected anything to the contrary. Despite the whole thing looking like some sort of weird pyramid scheme at first glance, the venue was quite nice and I was able to learn a little about the current state of the job market for engineers.
Five minutes ago I managed to get my MIDI demo working. I eventually settled on the “MIDI-OX” software (free for non-commercial use) although any MIDI application capable of MIDI-IN is suitable. After much swearing over the normal MIDI specification I realized that I’d missed a crucial part of the USB-MIDI supplement specification; since the USB protocol can carry many, many MIDI streams, each standard MIDI message has to be prefixed by a byte indicating the virtual cable number and message type. All now works well, and the new demo will join the new HID parser in the next MyUSB library release.
