Plaid Pad MIDI

This software will allow you to use MIDI functionality on your Plaid Pad through raw HID communcation and a virtual MIDI device.

Usage

If you're very familiar with QMK this should be enough: My Keymap

If not, please follow these steps:

1. Download hid-midi.c and hid-midi.h.
2. Place these files in your Plaid Pad keymap folder.
3. In your keymap's rules.mk add RAW_ENABLE = yes and SRC += hid-midi.c.
4. In your keymap.c add the following things:
   • #include "hid-midi.h" at the top.
   • MIDI_LAYER at the bottom of your layers.
   • if(process_midi_button(keycode, record)) return false; At the top of your process_record_user function.
   • process_midi_encoder(index, ccw); at the top of your encoder_update_user function.

Alternatively you could also download my entire keymap and just edit to your liking.

In hid-midi.c you'll also be able to set the buttons to either momentary or toggle.

Requirements

This application requires you have installed the following:

1. VirtualMIDI
2. LoopMIDI
   • Only needs to be installed, doesn't need to be running for the application to function.

Limitations

Due to V-USB having a limited amount of endpoints, any QMK features that open endpoints besides the default one will need to be turned off.
