MIDI out to Ableton

Si's icon

Hello,

I've been using max for a while but am new to MIDI manipulation, and i guess that's probably the root of this, i'm sure, very simple issue.

Basically, there's an issue with my BOSS FC50 foot contoller, it has 6 switches, five midi pedals, 1/5, 2/6 etc, and one to switch banks. 1 or 5...

My problem is, when i swich banks, the number which the currently activated pedal switches to is sent automatically without my pressing it. if i'm on 1, 5 is sent 2, then 6 and so on. this in effect turns five pedals into 4.

i was going to write a patch with some gates to fix this problem and just pipe the midi through it and into ableton, but i can't get it, or any other program for that matter, to recognise MIDI out data from MAX!!

i'm using pgmout, as i get pgm signals from my controller which are recognised when the signal doesn't go through max, i've tried noteout, ctlout, but nothing. here is a simple patch, with hopefully, a glaring error.

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

I would be incredibly thankful if anyone could help me remedy this problem.

Thanks,

Si.
