F.A.Q.

Was it really necessary to create a complete separate fork of BASSMIDI Driver?

I feel like it was necessary, yes.

Couldn't you just edit the driver on the existing repository?

True that, I could've just done that. But I honestly didn't want to ruin the original driver.<br /> The driver was born back in 2015, when a friend of mine wanted a version of BASSMIDI Driver with higher polyphony, but then I started working on it more and more, to the point where most of the original source code got replaced by mine.<br /> I really didn't want to ruin kode54's original source code, so I decided to create my own repository. (While still giving credits to kode54, of course.)<br /> Oh, and of course, the driver wouldn't be where it is now, without kode54's help from behind the scenes. He helped me a lot with some issues I was having with some parts of his code. (Which I eventually replaced, but still.)<br />

Do you feel like your driver is complete now?

Tough question... I honestly have no idea. I mean, there's always room for improvement.<br/> But I feel like I have nothing else to add to it at this point, I'm literally out of ideas.<br/> If you're a programmer, and you have some ideas on how to improve or expand the driver's functionalities, please hit me up or send a pull requests with the edits.

Didn't you stop updating it?

Yes, but I still do small updates from time to time when needed, and I also do updates on request.<br/> I've received numerous donations from people that don't want the driver to be abandoned, and I'm really thankful to all of them for their support!

Ok ok, enough of your story... What's so special about your driver that makes it different from the others out there?

Good question. The driver has unique features, such as:

It's meant for professional people who wants a lot of settings to change almost every behaviour of the program.

What do you mean by "for professional use"?

I'll be honest, when I programmed the interface of the driver, I made it to make it familiar for DAW experts or people who know how to use advanced programs.<br /> I've seen newbies getting angry at me after changing one settings, complaining that the driver kept crashing their apps while they were playing MIDIs/working on projects.<br /><br /> If you want something easy to use, I strongly recommend VirtualMIDISynth 2.x by Claudio Nicora.<br /> His driver is definitely more stable than mine, and it's easier to use too. Go check it out.

Can I use your program's source code for my program?

Sure, as long as you follow the LICENSE.

You can read the lists here: OmniMIDIASIOSupportList folder on GitHub <br /> WARNING: Since I can not test all the ASIO devices available on the market (Mainly because they're not cheap), if you have one, please... Test it with OmniMIDI, then send me an e-mail about it to kaleidonkep99@outlook.com.
