Hi there,
it's possible to play all 128 general midi sounds in max? If, yes how?
Thanks.

there's an object called [pgmout], which allows progChange messages

And second small question in order not to make another post:

when making new object or message there is no automatic cursor to type object name in it, i must click it with mouse to type a name. Is this some kind of bug or specific my system problem?

I'm on win7.


Thank you n00b_meister, i'm checking it.


So, how to make cursor flashing inside after inserting new object/message?

I'm using latest v5.17


in "maxmsp" > "preferences" you can check these settings.

Yes, i tried to change few settings in there, but can't figure out which one?

Yeah, it's a little bit annoying, but not a big problem overall. Strange that this happened after ~2 months of using program. Even reinstall not helped.. Maybe i must try unninstal again and clear all registry entries related to Max.

And one more (hopefully last) question about midi.

I made a stupid random sequencer that generates midi sequence using general midi sounds. Now i want to modify or record what i hear, but can't figure out how to do this. So my question is how to convert what comes from makenote=>noteout~ in to audio signal?

Ok:). General midi sounds are playing in Max, i want to record them in to AUDIO FILE.

How to connect [seq] to do this?
Thanks.


When you use the general MIDI sounds, you're sending MIDI to the internal MIDI synthesiser built into your audio driver, which outputs directly. This means that the audio signal generated does not pass through Max, so you can't record it, unless you use something like soundflower to route your system audio output back into Max and then use record~.

Ok, that's sad.. I'm on Win.
But thanks for explanation!


Just wanted to mention that on Mac you can use the plugin

This way the built-in general MIDI sounds are available as audio in Max.

On Win you could load a [vst~] plugin with a soundfont player and a GM soundfont.

I guess there is something free available on the web. Just try google.

Yes, i know about soundfont plugins, but plugins is exactly what i'm trying to avoid.

Nevermind, found thread about Soundflower alternatives.
