Midi output
I have a patch and I want to save the midi output as a mid file to open and edit it further in my DAW.
I read about seq and write and followed a tutorial but I can't make it to work.
I dont mind saving it in real time.
You don't need a .mid file.
My suggestion: Let your patch run in Max and record the output in your DAW in real time.
In your Max patch, you can use the automatically created MIDI output "from Max 1" and the DAW should be set to use this as an input.
Or, if you are on Mac, activate IAC in "Audio-MIDI Settings" and create one or more IAC buses. You can set an IAC bus as MIDI output in Max and use the same bus as MIDI input in your DAW.
Peter,
many thanks for your succint and highly informative answer. I wasn't aware in Max I could double click on 'midiout' to get the midi out settings.
If anybody finds this question in the future. Here are the links for how to use the IAC driver and how to set up to use max with other applications:
