The problem seems to be introduced here: 90866bb

Running a simple once $ n 0 # s "midi" gives:

In the first error, the ~midichan seems to be nil, but I have no clue who this can be.
You can set the receiveAction to post the received value:

~dirt.receiveAction = { |x| x.postcs }; // postcs will post the full compile string

In the second error, midicmd seems to be not a symbol as it should, but probably nil or 0.
Also this should feature in the message sent from tidal ...

Maybe some time we should make the API clearer and check for it.

Thanks, here's what is received:

( 'n': 0.0, 's': 'midi', 'cycle': 0.0, 'cps': 0.89999997615814, 
  'delta': 1.111111164093, 'latency': 0.18455786288996 )

midichan should default to 0:

SuperDirt/classes/DirtEventTypes.sc

Line 55 in 90866bb

~chan = ~midichan ? 0;

midicmd should in common cases be inferred by the message. But in the case of notes it isn't used at all. Instead

the presence of n should set hasNote to true:

SuperDirt/classes/DirtEventTypes.sc

Line 45 in 90866bb

var hasNote = ~n != \none, midiCommandPending = true;
this should lead to more than one midi messages being sent (possibly polytouch, then noteon and finally noteoff)

SuperDirt/classes/DirtEventTypes.sc

Line 104 in 90866bb

if (hasNote) {

For completeness here's the error again but using the head of the develop branch, although it looks much the same to me.

I think I found it, just an initialisation problem
