Is it decidedly impossible to communicate within max via the Max/MSP midi

busses? I have a patch that maps my keyboard to midi notes and I'd like to

be able to use it to directly test midi-based patches without using

send/receive to fake it. Any know the full story on this?

MIDIYoke?  Does it for everything else...

The patch I'm using is designed to take several midi controllers

simultaneously as input. The controllers are routed to different looping

engines dependant upon their midi channel. I am using my keyboard to

I remembered MidiPipe, which I haven't used since I got Max. Until now. Why

can't Max hear itself its own midi busses?

well, if you adress a program twice in the 

midi setup, how should mac OS or windows know 

where to send stuff to? one bus - one program.

you should make your keyboard thingie a subpatch.

(add inlets and outlets and then you can call it 

from the other patch by [p mykeyboardfilter]

OK, I guess that technically "to Max/MSP" and from "Max/MSP" are separate

busses. I interpereted those names to be the setter and getter of one bus,

so it made sense to think that dropping something down the tube would make

Do you mean Audio Midi Setup (osx)? Max doesn't show in there; should it?

If you're using 10.4.x, you can enable the IAC bus in AudioMIDI setup. This has no concept of "direction", ie each IAC bus can be both a source and a destination, so you can output to it from Max and receive from it in Max.

Warning - it's very easy to setup a MIDI loop using the IAC bus. Also note the IAC busses in 10.3.x can be very flaky, thus the advice to use 10.4.x.
