wtMidi

This new companion program for Win-Test gives the possibility to use 
MIDI devices (like DJ consoles or MIDI keyboards) to trigger Win-Test 
Lua scripts.

You can move wtMidi in the same folder as Win-Test. Make sure wtCom.dll 
is in the same folder. Once run, the program installs an icon in the 
system tray to access the settings dialog, or exit the program. You can 
also double-click the icon to access the settings dialog.

You can enable or disable every MIDI input device (if several are 
installed) to send remote commands to Win-Test in the settings dialog. 
You also have to enter the text command to be used. You just need to 
write and assign this text command to a script to process it in 
Win-Test. For simplicity and usability, the full command text with the 
arguments sent by wtMidi is displayed is the settings window when a MIDI 
control is actuated.

This full remote command includes the device number (0 to 4, depending 
on your setup), the MIDI status (depending on the kind of control), the 
control ID (depending on the device) and finally the control value. You 
can parse these values in the script and trigger an action accordingly.

To demonstrate the capabilities, I wrote a script (auxmidi.wts) which 
drives a Kenwood TS-590S from an Hercules DJControl Compact console. You 
can enhance and adapt this script to fit your needs. Copy (or move) it 
in your /scripts directory, and assign it the text command AUXMIDI with 
the script manager.
