How do I send a MIDI filename into the seq object
I’m trying to send the message
read “/path/with some spaces/to/my/midifile.mid”
to a seq object so I can load a specific midi file rather than get the file dialog. But the file dialog appears anyway and so I’m suspecting my filename doesn’t match the concept of a Max “symbol”
Eliminating the quotes doesn’t help, even if I try to escape the spaces.
Can someone provide a correct syntax example?
Thanks

Paths need to be formated in a Max cross platform way: HD:/folder/file.whatever. You can also use object like dropfile, or opendialog to choose the file, or format the path string using objects like sprintf or combine.
Copy all of the following text.Then, in Max, select New From Clipboard.

Thank you so much — the dropfile mechanism made it easy for me to see what to write. Turns out that there was a separate issue because the MIDI file I was trying to load was format 1. I don’t quite understand why the seq object only supports format 0 files these days.
