General Midi Questions

FRid — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:56:09 +0000

Hello,

Some questions about the general midi settings. Is it possible to specify a Midi-port/channel without a midi-controller (like with using the “notein” object. I would really like to use the percussion instruments located on channel 10 and tweak them afterwards using mtof and whatever is connected from there on.
Something like this: MIDI to mtof~ to DSP = really nice (&easy) instruments? Tutorial 19 covers this but since i don’t have a midicontroller (yet) i cannot check/hear if it really works. I have been trying to figure this out for hours now so any help is greatly appreciated!

“I would really like to use the percussion instruments located on channel 10 and tweak them afterwards using mtof and whatever is connected from there on.”

What do you mean by tweak? Your patch accesses the percussion instruments, so going by your post, do you want to specify ch10 at notein?

I want to play around with the signal. So to do that i would need to convert the “MIDI-sounds” to Signal. (MIDI to analog~)
Like i said; MIDI > Mtof~(as in; getting the signal) > DSP (as in; “effects”) = Cool (processed) MIDI-based sounds.
The Notein was a bad example but i put it there to show it (channel 10) can be accessed before Noteout, my bad.

I did find this post but it was three years ago (guessing before max5) so i was hoping someone found a solution on this maybe.
