CTLOUT Problems
Hi all,
I recently upgraded to Max 5 and am having problems with the ctlout object. The same patch works fine in Max 4.6.3. Has anyone encountered this problem? I need to use a MIDI continuous control command to turn my MIDI device on/off. It uses MIDI CC0, and any value from 0-64 turns the device off, while any value from 65-127 turns it on. My patch in Max 4.6.3 is simple:
Does anyone know why this might not work in Max 5?
Thanks!
Perhaps try changing the argument to 1 for the MIDI channel and sending the controller number using the middle inlet. Try the method shown in the patch below. And if you don't yet know how to copy that into max5 read the stickies posted at the top of the forum.

You didn't specify an out port, if you don't tell ctlout where to send it, it will send to the internal synth...
In Max 4 you probably specified a different default out port within your MIDI Setup by setting a Midi channel offset and a different order/abbreviation and forgot about it...
