About SynthScan:
This is a test app to automatically detect what synths or other midi devices you have connected to you BeOS supported midi ports. It will eventually be inegrated into TweekFreek, a native BeOS universal midi editor/librarian/tweaker. This app is provided for testing purposes and as a means to gain support for a wider variety of MIDI instruments.

Please run this app from Terminal. It will send the following Midi SysEx message (F7 7E cc 06 01 F0) to every channel (cc) on every port your BeOS system supports. Any synth that supports MIDI Device ID inguiry should respond with some sort of MIDI message.

To be detected, a handshaking routine is needed. A MIDI instrument must be connected to both a Midi out port and a Midi in port in order to be detected.

Instruments that lack a Midi Output can not be detected automatically (such as the Roland MKS-7). Other instruments, that do not respond to the general device id request, will have to be sorted out later.

Please e-mail me (euporia420@aol.com) with either the results of the app cut/paste into the e-mail body, or with the Terminal log text file as an attachment. Be sure to mention what midi devices you believe should be detected.

(to make a log:
1. Start a new Terminal
2. From the "Terminal" Menu, select "Log to File..."
3. Choose a file name and location to where your log file will be saved.
4. Run the Midi Scanner app from Terminal
5. From the "Terminal" Menu, select "Stop Logging..."
)

Also, for unrecognized devices, be sure to include what device you believe sent the message back (i.e Roland - Juno106).

a recognized device should appear something like this in terminal:

Kawai K5000S found on:
MidiPort: /dev/midi/layla/1
Midi CH: 1

Actual SysEX Message: F7 7E 00 06 02 40 00 00 0A 02 04 00 03 01 F0

any non-recognized SysEx message received will look something like this:

NON-RECOGNIZED SysEX Message: F7 40 00 10 00 0A 60 11 00 00 00 00 52 F0
received on:
MidiPort: /dev/midi/layla/1
Midi CH: 1

Please, connect all of your MIDI devices to your available midi ports. If you have one midi port, please connect all of your Midi machines and test them individually. Chaining is possible, but any Synth you would like auto-detected must have both Midi In and Out connected. Chains using Midi Thru will not send the desired SysEx back to the scanner; Using the sytnh's Midi Out with Thru turned on locally in the synth is a good was to use chained devices with Midi Scan.

Latest Version

I optimized and cleaned up much of the code. More speed improvements. This is about as fast as a scan will get. It can only get slower at this point.

There are 307 midi devices detectable so far. The most recent Midi Device support list can always be found here: http://www.tweekerprojects.net/midisupport.html
