Midi over UDP
Hi,
I am having trouble figuring this one out...
I want Max to send midi notes to other computer via UDP.
My problem is the NOTEOUT and MIDIOUT dont seem to be able to point to UDP.
The Max UDP documentation doesnt mention sending MIDI over UDP
but it does mention something about HEX values...
Does anyone know if it is possible to build such a patch where
I can send midi notes via UDP?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanx guys,
rvr

If you're sending to another computer running Max, you and send max messages via UDP. Like "midinote 66 96" or something. Then handle it on the other end like any message.
If not, what are you sending to? Technically, MIDI is a hardware standard, too, so there's no "correct" way to send it via UDP. You'd need to know what your other thing is expecting. If you do need hex, look at the midiformat object.

Mzed,
Thanx for that informative response.
I want to send MIDI notes from Max to a computer running a PC
audio playback program named "Spot-On". Spot-On accepts midi from midi ports, midi over tcp, and midi over UDP, etc.
Now that you mentioned it, I believe the SPOTON dox mention
HEX values it wants to see for midi over UDP... I must investigate this HEX thang more...
Hmmm... I should also try adding a "UDPrecieve" patch to the PC
running SPOT-On, then have a "UDPsend" patch running on whichever
computer I want to use as a "midi sender"... hmmmm...
hmmm... ok Mzed, thanx a lot for pointing me in the right
direction - much appreciated.
