Output volume of noteout

I'm using makenote (velocity 127) with the noteout objects, but I find the volume very low in comparison to other applications on my computer. I need to turn my volume and speakers up to hear it clearly, then I always forget before switching to another application and it blows me away. Any way to control or boost Max's output volume?

I don't see any simple option for this and I have no clue if/how I can modify my system's (Mac) MIDI synthesizer.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Maybe MIDI volume (continuous control #7) might help? It's a long shot, but here's a patch:

On Mac the system's MIDI synthesiser is also available as AU plugin "DLSMusicDevice". So you could load it into a [vst~] object and thus have control on its audio output within your patch.
