MIDI library- set another serial port

Projects Programming
1

Hi,

i am using the "official" MIDI library and have a question, because i can't understand the documentation:

http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/MIDILibrary#.Uywgftyhhwo

Instead of the standard MIDI input port i'd like to use the second one on am Arduino Mega 2560.

May someone tell what to write instead of..

MIDI.begin(MIDI_CHANNEL_OMNI);

Thank you!

You need to edit the library header file. It is pretty clear when you read the file.

You mean MIDI.h?

After downgrading to the MIDI library V.3.2 i found everything i had to find in the MIDI.h-file.

If i change

#define USE_SERIAL_PORT         Serial      // Change the number (to Serial1 for example)

to

#define USE_SERIAL_PORT         Serial1     // Change the number (to Serial1 for example)

Serial0 does not work anymore, but Serial1 does not work too.

When i switch back to

#define USE_SERIAL_PORT         Serial      // Change the number (to Serial1 for example)

Serial0 works perfect again.

May someone explain, what's going on there (Arduino Mega 2560)?
