got a strange problem, maybe i'm doing something wrong

the pgmin tho the left of this patcher doesn't work as supposed. Maybe i missed something and pgmin and midiin accept different messages, but the thing is that i got this not in my patch, and it is supposed to be working fine on Max 4 (i'm unable to check this out)

From the help file it looks like you might need a [prepend port] in there but I don't have any MIDI kit to hand to test.

sorry - my fault. was copying manually that from another patcher and forgot "prepend port".

It does work here (your second version, with the [prepened port]) using an old MIDI keyboard.

There is a difference of 1 between the values sent by [pgmin] and by [midiin]->[midiparse], but it's rather a feature than a bug.

checked that on my studiologic and usb-midi interfaces - and it really works fine. but when i'm using motif xs6 as i was doing first time - i get nothing.

maybe there is a problem with it's long "YAMAHA MOTIF XS6 YAMAHA MOTIF XS6 Port1 " name instead of working variants "Studiologic-USB" etc, or there might be something else

the thing is that i have to run a patch coded not by me in Max 4. already done the workaround and everything works ok, just trying to figure out the source of the problem

hmm...

You are sending output names to the midiin object. Use the right inlet instead, does that work?

Well, the thing is that i've figured out the only case the pgmin isn't working is when i use it with motif xs as usb midi keyboard. The data being sent by it is similar to what other keyboards send, but in all other cases pgmin does work...

Or maybe it is because of the spaces in your interface's name. Add a [tosymbol] before your [prepend port]. It seems Max doesn't complain when you send a port method with an unknown interface name to midi objects.
