I’ve just released MIDIator v0.3.0. This release brings some new features that I’m told are exciting
:)

• CC, Aftertouch, Channel Aftertouch, and Pitch Bend messages, contributed by Jeremy Voorhis.
• A driver for OSX that talks directly to the system’s synthesizer… no more routing nonsense required! Contributed by Adam Murray with help from Jeremy Voorhis.

Note that at least for the short-term, the CoreMIDI driver will remain the default for OSX. That means that #autodetect_driver will pick the CoreMIDI driver on OSX. If you want to use Adam’s driver, you must call #use, like so:

1
2

@midi = MIDIator::Interface.new
@midi.use :dls_synth

At some point in the future, both direct-to-synth and indirect MIDI message modes will be supported on all three platforms. I’ll also be adding a nicer way to specify which mode you want, so you don’t have to distribute code with hard-coded drivers.

You can install or update MIDIator from RubyForge:

$ sudo gem install midiator

Plz to enjoy!
