Re: Need a MIDI Input function in LabVIEW. I have found all kinds of examples of MIDI out, but not in.

Basically, I have a MIDI keyboard that has a USB interface.  The
keyboard doesn't have speakers or anything, but does plug in and
Windows will recognize it as a MIDI device.  You press a key on
the keyboard and windows will play the note.  I want to at the
simplest level, be able to press a note and have LabVIEW display the
waveform in addition to possibly playing it.  This is for an
exhibit at a children's science museum. 

The examples out there for MIDI output all use the windows
mmedia.dll.   I don't see why MIDI input would be any
different, but the dll isn't straightforward.  One thing I have
found is that you can have the windows multi-media dll fire an
event.  So, I'm looking into how you could have a LV application
waiting for a windows MIDI event.  This is not straightforward
either.
