Catalina beta - does not appear to generate keystrokes

[riprowan]

I had a working implementation where I was using Ableton to control Ecamm live via MIDIstroke. It was working as recently as April/May.

The combination no longer works. I've verified that Ableton is sending the correct MIDI controller messages on IAC Bus 1. I've confirmed that midiStroke has the correct permissions in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility. I've confirmed that midiStroke is listening to IAC Bus 1. But it does not appear to generate keystrokes.

Is there an app that I can use which will verify that midiStroke is generating the keystrokes?

I am seeing the same thing. I'm on Catalina, I have given midiStroke Accessibility access, I've confirmed my midi inputs, I've set up some mappings in midiStroke, but I don't see any keystrokes occurring.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry, I have no way to debug in Catalina (still on Mojave). Some people have reported success, others have reported difficulty in Catalina after I made a few updates about a year ago. I've added a README to this repo looking for a project maintainer... maybe someone else with access to Catalina will be able to figure this out?

I pulled the source down and ran it on Catalina, suddenly it is working fine for me. Not sure what was different, maybe making sure the midi source was plugged in prior to running midiStroke?

I did notice that midiStroke didn't understand capital letters and would default to returning 0 from keyCodeForKeyString, which resulted in stroking 'a' every time. Ensuring I map to a lowercase made it work correctly.

How did you make it work then ? I'm curious if its not because my keyboard is french but i don't really see the ossue. Maybe i need to pull the source code too
