Hello Maxers, In order to create a Max MIDI device (i.e. a home made soft synth) behaving exaclty like any other standard MIDI device in an app, I need to be able to send MIDI from Max MSP to Max MSP. But output MIDI clients do not fit with input ones. I suppose if they would, there would be a loop, but why should this be ? I have tried to create input ports and output ports with the same portname using the commands ; #SM createinport portname coremidi, ; #SM createoutport portname coremidi,

, but it does not work. (the name is the same but not the port) Of course I do not want to fiddle with the CoreMidi setup, and would prefer not to use send and receives, to ensure my device behaves strictly as any MIDI external device.

Any idea ? Best regards Roland
