i can't find this in the writing externals manual.. can anyone point me towards some kind of tutorial for outputting midi information from within an external? the source code for something like noteout would be enough.

This seems a rather odd thing to do ... why not just add another 

outlet and connect it to midiout? (Actually, you could probably 

instantiate a private midiout object internally.)

That would presumably fork your code into an OS X version and a

That would presumably fork your code into an OS X version and a  
Windows version. Doesn't sound good.

how are the windows and osx noteouts different?

I assume they contain code to the native MIDI libraries on the 

appropriate OS's (CoreMIDI on OS X verses I dunno on Windows).
