I have seen this issue was reported some years ago but there are obviously people using imp.midiout successfully, so maybe I do something wrong and need help...

If I send a 3 byte raw midi message with imp.midiout (via virtual midiport) and receive it with max there will be 5 bytes coming in the 2nd and third are arbitrary bytes the rest is ok. So midiparse has troubles understanding the stream.

I checked on Davids site the version has not been updated since 2016

Here is the receiver patch and attached an amxd as sending patch

Some years ago I have used imp.midiout successfully but just checked and it doesn't seem to work anymore (OSX 10.14.6). I think 3rd party stuff on system level is inherently problematic.

Now I'm using OSC together with a standalone Max patch translating to MIDI, it's a bit inconvenient but future-proof.

I've been looking for a way to address midi ports in m4l.

I tried imp.midi and had similar problems.

However I made my own midiparse patcher for the imp.midi objects. Seem to be working nice.

Have a look at this and check the patcher [p imp_midiparse].

Falk I hear you!

I was thinking about a similar approch of fixing this and wasn´t sure it the ghost bytes keep changing, or if this is really the solution to the problem so I didn´t start. Thanks for working that out, I will try it out soon and post if this works for me
