I am trying to make a virtual controller to lay down controller change data on midi tracks in pro tools.

I have made my virtual interface - have the midi successfully leaving max, and being received by Ableton Live(to troubleshoot), but will not be received by pro tools.

Is this a glitch or bug or something? I have tried this using the from/to maxmsp ports (which Pro Tools sees just fine, though doesn't receive data from), and also using the IAC driver, and alas - no love.

I just find it weird that I am able to get midi from max to Ableton just fine, but pro tools wont have it.

Also - I can send notes from Pro Tools to max/ableton no problem. And obviously I have tried sending control change data, and midi notes during all tests.

Really? Pro Tools not cooperating with other programs? My, that's a

surprise! If you don't have a list of reasons to s***-can Pro Tools, I say

Beyond that, I have had the exact same problems--both with MIDI and with

audio signals--when other programs worked without a hitch (Live, Logic,

etc.) What OS are you running? And, what's your MIDI configuration look

start one, and add this to the top.

like?

Its not really much of a configuration: Not running through anykind of timepiece, or midi box. The midi is traveling through software only, either through max's virtual midi port, or through IAC.

Running OS X leopard
Pro Tools 7.4.2
Max/MSP - 4.6
Ableton 6.02


Did you enable the input device in ProTools ?

WHOA, maybe I am stupid - Ill have to check that when i get home - pretty sure I went throught all of that - see if my certification means anything ;p

Did you get this problem solved? I am also trying to route Max MIDI to ProTools. Let us know if you've found a solution!
