This is still a WIP, but check out `quantum/process_keycode/process_midi.c` to see what's happening. Enable from the Makefile.

## Enabling MIDI

Add the following to the keyboard's rules.mk
wxyangf marked this conversation as resolved.

```c

MIDI_ENABLE = yes
```

## Using Basic MIDI

Enabling Basic MIDI

Add the following to your keyboard's config.h
wxyangf marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

```c
#define MIDI_BASIC
```

With basic MIDI you will only be able to send `NOTE_ON` and `NOTE_OFF` Commands to the internal MIDI device, meaning that keycodes like `MI_OCTU` and `MI_OCTD` will not work.

## Advanced MIDI

Enabling Advanced MIDI

Add the following to your keyboard's config.h
wxyangf marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

```c
#define MIDI_ADVANCED
```

With advanced MIDI you can do things like octave shifts, channel changes, velocity changes, and modulation.

### Sending MIDI Control Codes (MIDI CC)
wxyangf marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

If you're aiming to emulate the features of something like a Launchpad or other MIDI controller you'll need to access the internal MIDI device directly.

When sending MIDI CC you don't get the advantages of a preimplemented keycode and you will need to implement custom keycodes if you want to use them in your keymap directly using the function `process_record_user`. It is the same process as implementing custom keycodes for macros.

For an overview of that process look at: [Macros](feature_macros.md)
wxyangf marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

1. First enable MIDI_ADVANCED
2. use an `extern MidiDevice midi_device;` statement to bring the MIDI device into scope.
3. Send a control code with the `midi_send_cc(*midi_device, channel, number, value)` function

For reference of all the possible control code numbers see [MIDI Specification](#midi-specification)

#### Example code for using Generic On Off Switches as per MIDI Specification.
```c
#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H

extern MidiDevice midi_device;

/*
MIDI CC codes for generic ON/OFF swiches
80,81,82,83
values off = 0-63
*/

#define OFF 0
