I'm looking at the ABS object in the reference manual. What I can't

determine is a) should I be getting output via noteout, and if yes , then

The pitch / velocity is registering through the notein, but I see no output

for "noteout". By the way I hope I'm not posting to many beginner questions

Yeah, you should be getting note output. Where are you expecting to see the results of the note output? In a sequencer? An external midi device?

Btw the -127 -> abs construction can also be done like this:

I guess we can say external midi device. However it's (I'm on Windows) the

GS built in synthesizer. Input is via a midi controller on a usb port. As

you might have seen in the patcher I have number boxes coming from the

outlets of noteout on pitch and velocity.

Yes, I always click on both notein and noteout to make sure they are pointed

Yes, I always click on both notein and noteout to make sure they are pointed
at the correct devices.

No :) You have number boxes -leading to- the -inlets- of noteout. For sure you are not going to see anything happen on those number boxes.

Noteout has no outlets.

Yes, it helped me understand why I see no output in the number box. I hung a

print off the abs so there is output from there. Must be some quirky

system midi issue I'm guessing.

noteout. If you set the correct output device, it should just be like a

noteout has no outlets, you connected number boxes to the inputs of

It should work fine. To test your setup, connect notein directly to 
noteout. If you set the correct output device, it should just be like a

Thank you Stefan. Yes I had tried that I had no better luck. I've been

noticing that noteout has been dicey on my system. Sometimes it's required

me to exit and restart Max. Anyway, I'll dig around further, I don't want

Thank you Stefan.  Yes I had tried that I had no better luck.  I've been
noticing that noteout has been dicey on my system. Sometimes it's required
me to exit and restart Max.  Anyway, I'll dig around further, I don't want
to bother the list with a system issue.
