noteout object works for presets, not for my patches

Post by erichzann » Tue May 25, 2010 5:35 am

Forgive the noob question here please. I just started going through tutorials, and opening things up in edit mode to sift around in the patches. I tried making a simple patch from scratch and can't seem to get midi back into Live with ctlout, or noteout. These objects work fine for the preset patches of course, and I can't seem to figure out why they won't with mine. What's really frustrating is that I have Max/MSP standalone, and I can just click on the noteout and ctlout objects etc., and a popup menu comes up, then I can just choose "from MSP" and set that as the input for a track in live, and that works fine. Could someone please tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks very much for any help

Keep in mind that M4L devices are like plugins, i.e. midi input/output goes through Live tracks only.

hmmmm.... is what I thought. The problem is, if I understand correctly, that means you should just connect everything correctly and it should work without assigning anything, but I tried that. I'll have to check again, your statement makes it seem like it should be as easy as I thought it should be. Something was wrong when I was trying it last night though (I'll go over it again in the next few days) Thanks for the response.
