I'm really stuck, for some reason the velocity comes out the wrong side of the unpack - and there is no activity from the right outlet of the unpack! what am i doing wrong?

midiformat-object-help

Sorry it wont let me edit my original post, here's a better example.

the reason for the pack and unpack is that i'm going to put a [seq] object between midiformat and unpack

The unpack object is working perfectly well. Perhaps attaching a print object to the output of your midiformat object will show you what you're giving the pack object to work with. To further elucidate matters, add another print object (give it an argument "print mf" so you can tell it apart from the other object) and compare what is coming out in both places. Since I'm sure you know all about order of operations from the tutorials, there would be several ways to consider rectifying the situation.

Can you not just tell me how to do it? I'm 2 days away from my deadline. I'm sure that others that visit the forum will be thankful that the end of this thread has a result, rather than a cryptic puzzle.

It's now 23:09, I've been working (not only on max, admittedly) for 12 and a half hours now. Help a brother out.

midiformat doesn't put out a list. it puts out a series of bytes. 

Here's your patch using a bucket to display the output of midiformat:
