Creating an application for Windows with Max
Hello at all,
excuse me, I'm a beginner, anybody knows how can I build a Windows application with Max/Msp to control an external MIDI device? I don't understand how can I read a Max program in a computer without Max/Msp. Otherwise I have to make program and GUI with C or C++ which is harder than Max. I've just seen a composer who built an application with Max but I didn't understand what filename extension he used. I'm being crazy.
Thank you very much,
Seba.T
Hi, do you have max yet?
You can simply build an executable if you go to "File -> Build Collective / Application"
The executable you can run on any Windows machine without max being installed.

As for the midi part: It should be fairly straight-forward to make a Max patch (GUI) that can send Midi messages to control an external MIDI device.
However, I don't know if you can do this with the trial version, so you might need to buy Max.
Thank you very much for your help! Yes, I have the full version of Max but I have to create an application for another computer without Max.
I go quickly to study the topic which you linked to me!
Maybe just share your Max patch. If you don't use externals, it should work pretty easily on any computer running Max without license (demo Mode).
