greetings, irc, and default midi device for ctlout
Greetings. I've created my first patch in maxmsp today; a remake of a gamepad>midi patch I made in puredata. I am taking the plunge to familiarize myself so I can start using max4live and experimenting with my novation launchpad. I am also interested in experimenting with rewire and renoise to see where it can get me which will also be in preparation for when renoise supports OSC, if that ever comes to be.
I also noticed the #maxmsp irc channel on undernet is a ghost town. Feel free to hop in if anyone wants to discuss anything. If undernet is no longer the official server, let me know so I may join the correct one.
A question about maxmsp I have is in my new patch, I do not see a way to set the midi output device for each ctlout without clicking on each one and selecting the correct device from the popup list. In puredata the device could be set globally per patch.
I have attached the patch I am working on as an example.
thanks!
There is some basic MIDI mapping in the MIDI Setup dialog, but you have to have already used one of the abbreviations in your MIDI object instantiations.
I prefer to use messages to the various objects. Sending the message port portname (or port "port name" if there's a space in the device name) sets that object to the portname.
many thanks. I also figured out how to "new from clipboard"
