Jimmeh

ive been trying for ages now how do i send a midi signal to the quartz composer. ive made an fm drum machine and looking at doing some visuals with it. but i cant seem to get max to talk to quartz thought midi any ideas?

im quite new to the quartz world just to let you know. im not too sure how to use the udpsend object, hooked it up to a cube object and it just made it massive i cant seem to change anything on it.

the reason i was thinking of using midi was because i thought it would be the most simple way of doing it.

do i need to prepend anything? im just sending a number into the midi control but im not getting anything?

Ok, here is the max's patch and I'm sending you a quartz example:
