the launchpad max patcher/handler on chippanfire.com (

 has a neat feature of giving a umenu full of inputs and outputs in presentation mode... i can't figure out how the hell to do this without copy/pasting it into my own patcher.

is midi_in_populate a feature of max or a feature of this guy's js code? it's a little more presentable to have a dropdown menu than needing to know about double clicking on a midi input.

r_midi_populate-umenu-for-midi-io

In the patcher, the midi_in_populate is a label for a send/receive pair. When you double click on one of the receive objects (r midi_in_populate) then a menu will show you all sends and receives. When you select the send from the menu, max takes you to where it is located. There you something like this:

check the [midiinfo] object - it can be used to easily generate umenus containing the available midi input or output ports

Also, if you use umenu with 'prefix_mode = prepend', and set the prefix to 'port' you can attach the umenu's middle output directly to a midiin/midiout object

r_midi_populate? (umenu for midi i/o)
