Help! I'm trying to work my way through the tutorials and I can't sort out my MIDI setup. I"m on tutorial 12.

Max is receiving MIDI from the Virus, no problem...it's doing so even when I had not assigned the Virus to Abbrev "a", which, to my understanding, it should actually NOT do since the tutorial patch specifies "notein a".

Furthermore, I can't get any sound out of the Virus via Max. I set the Abbrev to A, no offset, turned off the other devices, made sure it set to receive channel 1...can't get a thing.

Further weirdness: in Max's MIDI setup window, I can deselect every input and output device, and Max is still receiving the note messages from the Virus' keyboard.

Everything looks to be in order in the Mac's MIDI Setup as well.

My setup:
iMac 10.5
Max 4.6
Access Virus TI via USB

Hmmm...I can get sound out of the Virus by clicking the on-screen keyboard in MIDITester. Still can't get notes out of Max, though.

got it by double-clicking on each note out object while locked and switching the output to the virus manually. should i have to do that when the virus is the only enabled output device in MIDI setup, or is this a OS 10.5 glitch?

Does your Virus work at all in X.5? I've read lots of complaints of 

Don't know if this is with all Virus models, or just with some.

Does your Virus work at all in X.5? I've read lots of complaints of  
people using Logic/Leopard/Virus.

You can specify the device name in the noteout:

    [noteout "Virus Synth or Whatever it is Called" 14]

(name followed by channel). This is safer than relying on any 

You can, of course, build menus of devices, but figuring out which 

item to loadbang in brings you back to your original problem unless

	[noteout "Virus Synth or Whatever it is Called" 14]

(name followed by channel). This is safer than relying on any  
implicit selection of device.

You can, of course, build menus of devices, but figuring out which  
item to loadbang in brings you back to your original problem unless  
you do it by name.

I guess the midi documentation needs to be refurbished. They deal with 

old OS 9 issues, though still functional, I never touched these a..

If you do not specify a port, any receiving object like notein, ctlin 

etc. will receive on all ports. But you can send only on one port, which

I guess the midi documentation needs to be refurbished. They deal with 
old OS 9 issues, though still functional, I never touched these a.. 
abbreviations since years. Instead have a look at midiinfo to see how to 
set midiports nowadays.

If you do not specify a port, any receiving object like notein, ctlin 
etc. will receive on all ports. But you can send only on one port, which 
is by default the internal synth...

That's why I made my St.Midinport You can specify a part of the name and 

it will switch to it on loadbang. [St.Midinport Virus] would be enough 

no matter how complicated the real name is...
