Let's get some unrestricted midi in and out of m4l devices!

lh_midiin works well for me with all types of midi messages including CC.

You need to parse and transform the incoming messages accordingly.
For example, this patch delivers CC in the same format as [ctlin].

Thanks Broc, my parsing wasn't right.

I am trying to get this working without success- can someone point me in the right direction?

I have created the patch shown in the lh_smidiin device help menu, and many midi ports show up in my umenu object. Unfortunately, they are mostly IAC driver ports, and none of them correspond to my control surface that I would like to get CCs from.

I have not been able to set the Type of the Pattr object to Symbol as instructed in the patch. I send it the message "type symbol" but it's type remains "atom". May be the problem?

Thanks for your help.

For a midirack that spits out CCs and sysex check out macrobat which is included with the awesome Clyphx scripts.

Thanks I'll have a look at that.

sysex in clyphx/macrobat ???
are you sure?

Yes, but only sysex output. See macrobat manual under 'nK MIDI'.

So I've just checked the latest version from this link

http://cycling74.com/toolbox/midi-inout-for-maxforlive/

and found that it doesn't work for me anymore (on OS 10.5.8).

Which OS version are you using?

[chrysalis33rpm]

Ahhh, well, at least I know it's not just me. I'm on OS 10.7.5

[chrysalis33rpm]

Anybody else having issues with this object?

You could try sending a message to the author for clarification.

Thanks for your help. I'll contact Leigh Hunt directly.

Hello guys,
in the end are the lh_midi objects working for you with Max6.1?
doesn't seem to work with 10.6.8...
cheers
