mean, how to generate sound output with python-rtmidi on OS X?\r\n\r\npython-midi only sends MIDI messages and they do not make sounds by themselves, they only tell a MIDI receiver what to play etc. So you need a synthesizer to turn the MIDI commands into sound. AFAIK, OS X does not have a builtin MIDI synthesizer like Windows does (nor does Linux, btw).  So you need to install one. An example would be a soundfont player like fluidsynth resp. Qsynth (GUI for fluidsynth). See this page for more information:\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/wiki/MIDI-playback-on-Mac-OS-X\r\n\r\nAfter you start Qsynth, you should be able to see its MIDi input port with `MidiIn.get_ports()`. Then open the port and just start sending MIDI messages to it. See the example scripts in the `examples/basic` directory."}}
