midiobjects in max for live

Im trying to recive midi (notein, midiin etc) inside the Live for max editor. The outputs of notein shows no reaction from my keyboard, but when I open the helpfile for notein I get imidiate reaction from my playing. Is the midiobjects note usable inside max for Live?

midiin objects work inside max for live, but only inside midi devices and instruments (and please note that you need to have midi routed through your device on that channel: set monitoring to IN or arm the recording button)

maybe the notin works as well in that case, but I always only use midiin

the helpfile is probably using the max-scope which is different then the m4l-scope, in the max-scope you will be able to receive midi from every physical or virtual midiport, with max4live only the midi that is routed to that specific channel is available
