'MIDI' was not declared in this scope

Hi, guys...first time with Arduino here.

I'm trying to make a USB MIDI Host and I'm following a detailed tutorial but I'm facing an unexpected issue. When I upload the sketch to the board the process stops with the error message "'MIDI' was not declared in this scope"

This is the error message copied from clipboard:

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

C:\Program Files\Arduino\libraries\USBH_MIDI-IOP_ArduinoMIDI\examples\bidrectional_converter\bidrectional_converter.ino: In function 'void setup()':

^

exit status 1
'MIDI' was not declared in this scope

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I've read about a line to add: MIDI_CREATE_DEFAULT_INSTANCE(); but I dont know where to insert it in the sketch.

BTW this is the tutorial I'm following:

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

You need to correct the code you didn't post.

Delta_G:
I'm starting to think common sense might actually be a super power these days.

I feel a change of signature coming on. :smiley:

Be sure to install the MIDI serial library mentioned in the source code.

* http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/MIDILibrary

The bidirectional_converter creates two MIDI ports which could be named better. Midi is the USB MIDI port. MIDI is the serial MIDI port. The goal is to copy MIDI messages from the MIDI USB port to the MIDI serial port and vice versa.

Yes, i've installed the libraries correctly.

So, any idea to make it work? I'm pretty lost...

Starting with a fresh installation of IDE 1.8.4, use the IDE library manager to install USB Host Shield Library 2.0 by Oleg Mazurov, et al., version 1.3.1. Then install the MIDI Library by Forty Seven Effects, version 4.3.1.

Open the example starting from File | Examples | USB Host Shield Library 2.0 | USBH_MIDI | bidirectional_converter. The example compiles without errors.

The example source code is different from the version you have. You might be using an obsolete version so upgrade to the latest USB Host library. And use the example code included with the library.

The MIDI serial library is different from the one mentioned in your sketch. I installed the Forty Seven Effects version which is specified in the latest example comments. You may have to remove other MIDI serial libraries to get this to work.

Thank you very much! Done.

I think that is compiling correctly but there's a problem uploading. I'm facing this error:

UPDATE:

The sketch uploads correctly when I disconnect the USB Host Shield from the Arduino board.

Still not working but i'm getting closer.
