There's a midiinfo in a patch i'm working on; when moved onto a work computer, midiinfo outputs nothing.

I send a bang into its left inlet, and it sends out nothing, thus creating an empty list. Because of this issue, I can't test out my patch as I'm getting no audio out.

There is no information in the help file for this object that is helpful, nor have I found any similar issue online. There's no error message in the Max console either.

Really not sure what to do here. There isn't any way to debug the current code.

No info about midi devices installed or available on that system

And - midiinfo has nothing to do with audio output, only indirectly

if You are trying to use built in synth, if that's what You mean

No info about operating system
No info about max version

Idk how to tell you what midi devices are installed or being used.

There are 6 IAC busses set up in the audio midi set up thing.

There is an audio interface plugged in to the computer, PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL

Mac OS X version 10.11.5
Mac mini (Late 2012)
Max version 7.3.5 (64-bit mac)

I would first check if any midi ports are recognised by max itself.

If You doubleclick on any midi sendig object, like noteout, or ctlout

a popup will display showing available out ports.

If that works ok, then midiinfo is a problem.

Could it be that You have somewhere a patch named midiinfo ?
