Sample code for USB - MIDI

[towlerg]

Don't seem to be able to edit my previous - should read "perhaps with a similar descriptor format?"

Since you're looking for plain communication with the PC via USB, I can suggest you look up the USB CDC descriptor. This will turn your PIC into a USB comm port visible to your PC. You then just communicate with that comm port.

I see you're a subermod but I don't see how running a USB capable PIC device as CDC help the op problem.

You probably didn't see this in the OM. Moreover, I wonder what being supermod got to do with helping someone

In principle, I am mostly interested in communication FROM the PC TO the 18F4550.
It is driving me crazy... Tried almost everything, but I can't get it working!

OK, let's forget this all and use a dedicated USB to MIDI chip...

"You probably didn't see this in the OM." I did not. Mea culpa

Most of the USB code floating around is based on the HID class. However, if you download the current Microchip Libraries for Applications (MLA), and go to:

mla/v2018_11_26/apps/device/audio_midi

there are examples for numerous PIC devices. Of course, it will be written in C, and will have to be opened in MPLABX. That's about as much help as I can offer.
