there is something very strange that looks like a bug with midi notes 

some midi note off messages are missing when using notein in max to 

it works fine when using midiin + midiparse.

here is small video that shows the problem :

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/174493/Lemur_midi_note_to_max_bug.mov

Open for ex "masterkeyboard.jzlib" (you can download it here : 

http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemuruser_moduledetails.php?id=2)

, (or a simple Pads object that send midi notes)

if you play and release a single note : OK

all note off messages are received by midiin, but not by notein !!!

what's comming from the Lemur, and everything seems ok.

note messages from Lemur works just fine in any other application... 

I've repported this problem to Jazzmutant forum : 

http://forum.jazzmutant.com/viewtopic.php?t=1677

jazzmutant's guys seems to say that the problem comes from max notein 

this is a very anoying bug ! that means it's impossible to use the 

Lemur as a simple MIDI keyboard with max ?!?...

I can't believe that nobody noticed it before...

[Lemur V2b3 / macosX.5.5 / receiving MIDI in max 4.6.3 / 5.0.5]

there is something very strange that looks like a bug with midi notes  
messages comming from a Lemur :

some midi note off messages are missing when using notein in max to  
receive midi note from the Lemur.

steps to reproduce :
On the Lemur :
Open for ex "masterkeyboard.jzlib" (you can download it here : http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemuruser_moduledetails.php?id=2) 
  , (or a simple Pads object that send midi notes)
if you play and release a single note : OK
but try playing a glissando :
down : note on are sent, but no note off
up : only note off are sent...

I've checked with "MIDI Monitor" (http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/)  
what's comming from the Lemur, and everything seems ok.

note messages from Lemur works just fine in any other application...  
(Live, Garageband, ...)

lemur-notein-bug

Did you look at _aLib 1.0b 08.12.01. There's a "for lemur" folder.

However, thanks again for the nice concerts with Pierre-Alain Goualch last week at Opera de Lyon!

Sorry can't really help you.

They're probably right. The notein object will (erroneously) fail to pass note messages if multiple messages are (legally) contained in a single CoreMIDI MIDIPacket. Ctlin has a similar problem.
