pgmout sounds - where do these come from in max?
Jun 14 2011 | 8:54 pm
Hi all,
I have attatched a patch im working on
Its a sort of cellular automata piano player
In my research I have come across the 'pgmout' object but don't understand where the sounds for each number you can choose come from
Is it some sort of genreal MIDI in max?
Its probably a silly question but as the list goes past 127 my head says it can't be GM
Thanks in advance

- Jun 17 2011 | 8:07 pmI think it's 1-128 actually, rather than 0-127. Instruments 0 and 1 should be the same thing (Acoustic Grand Piano). You can readily Wiki the full GM instrument list. Also note that channel 10 is drum sounds, so instead of each pitch being the same instrument, they're each a distinct sound. And here, the only available pitches are from 27-97, if I remember right.
