I'm a Squeak newbie with nearly zero programming experience, brought here by a search after a tool that will let me capture, view as hex (and hopefully, save) a rare type of MIDI message (Active Sensing) which is unrecorded by every MIDI sequencing application I tried.
The MIDIInputParser object seems to be the ticket, but how do I invoke it? Whether I choose "Object Catalog" from the menu, or just click the Objects tab in Squeak's playfield, there is no trace of MIDIInputParser (or its Sound-Score Category) between the resources offered. I looked at the Squeak tutorials list, I haven't seen a MIDI-related one. I could use a little orientation on how to proceed... thank you in advance

Write MIDIInputParser in a Workspace. Select it with double-click, then do Command - B and you open the Class Browser in this class. On second panel (the class one) , raise the menu and select class refs . You must have a window saying the only user of MIDIInputParser is MIDISynth initialize. On the class side you have a example.
From here , you should continue the Squeak world exploring.
I said is a rewarding Journey

Welcome George,
I presume you want to capture the message from an external MIDI device (i.e. not from a MIDI file). At the moment there are some limitations on supporting external devices in Squeak. Windows is OK, Mac should be available soon, Linux is a problem. See this thread:
http://www.nabble.com/-squeak-dev--Creating-using-MIDI-ports-with-external-d...
If you are on Windows and would like some more pointers on how to do the capture, send a reply.
