Cpnnecting and controlling severaly USB Midi Host Devices on same USB cable?

[niklaswedin]

Hello. I have been struggling on getting to send MIDI information to my Launchkey. On Digital Audo Workstations it shows up as two devices (from the same Midi Keyboard). I cannot figure out how to get information about what MIDI devices are connected? I have no problem reading notes and knob from the "primary"? Device with NoteOn, Controller, and such...but cant figure out how to send info to the "second" device? (and even if it gets connected?)

Here is the debug Output that USBHost_T36 shows when disconnecting/connecting the MIDI keyboard. I don't get if the seconde interface is ignored? Or what all "ignored" means?

This is how it (One Midi Keyboard Connected) shows up in Reaper:



...so I need to reach both devices but cannot figure out how?

[niklaswedin]

Now with some more digging I might have wanted to change the title and contents of my original post to clarify the issue, but I cannot find out how to do this?

It might be that the MIDI device (Novation Launchkey MK2) connected connected to the USB Host (USBHost_t36) on Teensy 4.1, shows up as one Device but with 2 different MIDI ports? Still a bit unsure if it shows up as two UDB MIDI devices, or one MIDI Device with two ports (all with channels 1-16).

Still struggling to get this information out of USBHost_t36, also unsure of this is part of a USB problem or MIDI problem?

Any help in pointing towards "How-To-Guides" or Tutorials on the topics (USB Host (Enumeration?), USB HOST MIDI (several ports in one device), ...) would be really helpful.

I have full control of "the first" MIDI Port/Unit, but cannot figure out how to reach "the second" port/Virtaul Device? to send to Channel 16, to be able to control lights on buttons?

Thanks in advance!

This is the simplest code I could produce that I beleived would be enough, but apparently not?
This code works fine when sending midi between two separate MIDI devices connected with a USB Hub to the USB host. Any channel played on my Midi Controller Keyboard plays a note on channel 16 on my electric piano

....but this is not working to send anything (internally?) between the 2 midi ports/devices within the Novation Launchkey 25?

#include <USBHost_t36.h> // access to USB MIDI devices (plugged into 2nd USB port)

USBHost myusb;
USBHub hub1(myusb);

MIDIDevice midi01(myusb);
MIDIDevice midi02(myusb);

byte sendChannel = 16;

void setup() {
  delay(1500);
  myusb.begin();
}

void loop() {
  if (midi01.read()) { 
    midi02.send(midi01.getType(), midi01.getData1(), midi01.getData2(), sendChannel);
  }
}

After some deep digging in the library I found that it was easier than I could beleive.

This is the shortest code I could produce that simply shows what need to be done to read from (any) port/cable/channel and send to a specific channel and port:

#include <USBHost_t36.h> // access to USB MIDI devices (plugged into 2nd USB port)

USBHost myusb;
USBHub hub1(myusb);

MIDIDevice midi01(myusb);

byte sendChannel = 16;
byte sendCable = 1;

void setup() {
  delay(1500);
  myusb.begin();
}

void loop() {
  if (midi01.read()) { 
    midi01.send(midi01.getType(), midi01.getData1(), midi01.getData2(), sendChannel, sendCable);
  }
}
