How to stop Max from making virtual MIDI devices on Mac?
Mar 15 2010 | 12:14 pm
I'm trying to work around a current bug in the intersection of Max and Apple's latest Java MIDI support - see https://cycling74.com/forums/mxj-crashing .
My question is whether there is a way to make Max (and specifically a standalone built with Max) *not* automatically create the "to MaxMSP" and "from MaxMSP" virtual MIDI devices on the Mac? I know I can delete them with the following code, but I'm trying to prevent them from being created in the first place...
Thanks,
Dan

- Mar 15 2010 | 12:28 pmYes, they are only automatically created on the Mac - I'm not sure that there is a built in function in the Windows OS that allows for it, unlike CoreMIDI on the Mac.
