is it possible to capture the output of noteout as audio for use within a patch?

getting-mdi-output-as-audio

noteout does not output any signal, nor sound. But you can use it to trigger any sound or other event within max...

If you just want the note value to be a signal,- pass it to sig~

sorry, i should have phrased that better. i understand noteout doesn't output a signal, i'm intersted in recapturing the rendered midi audio output by quicktime as a signal.

oh, dear... it looks so simple but it is a nightmare on win (dunno for 

osx). Sound is always disgusting, latency problems, midi loops and so 

on... It depends on the audio connections your audio gear offers you. 

With my RME, max doesn't want to get back the midi output (played 

through my default audio channels) with adoutput. The last time, i used 

the analog outputs back to the inputs, all in max...

Under OSX, it is not possible to get the signal from the OS' MIDI synth 

(excepted if you use an audio routing software, like SoundFlower or 

But you can use a MIDI soundfont synth in Max/MSP, using [fluidsynth~] 

or [fluid~], or whatever VST synth you like.

Under OSX, it is not possible to get the signal from the OS' MIDI synth 
(excepted if you use an audio routing software, like SoundFlower or 
Jack - both are free).
