It doesn't seem to work with "from/to MaxMSP" but it works with the
IAC Driver.
But why don't you just use a patchcord or a send/receive?

It used to work on OS 9 back in the old days, but such a loopback is now
not allowed anymore, no idea why... (I'd like to see it back in Max 5...)

I can send from noteout to notein with IAC Driver.
Thank you, Roby.

As I wrote in the previous post, I'm developing a patch that receives MIDI data and plays back sounds.
I have to test the patch sending MIDI data to the patch.
I have a MIDI keyboard and I can test the patch with it, but I thought that it would be handy if I can use my computer keyboard as a MIDI keyboard.
And I found patches to send MIDI data from the computer keyboard.
(Computer keyboard as MIDI keyboard [message #121941])
But I didn't know how to send MIDI data generated from computer keyboard to the patch.
That's why I asked in this topic.

Now I can do it with the following patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Seems to make a bit more sense to do this with send and receive objects, if even for the sake of just learning a new technique. Check the code below...

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Send and receive objects were the very basics that I just missed.
I will use them because they are independent of MIDI devices.
Thank you, MikEyhaTsis.
