default MIDI outs?

manhattanresearchinc's icon

Hey there,

I'm new to this whole shebang. I wanna make my patch sound kinda purdy, I don't have much time, and the AU DLS Synth that Max routes out to as default just isn't gonna cut it. I want to route my data out to Live and put it through something nice sounding. However, I have 16 seperate MIDI note outputs that are all located in different patcher windows. Is there a place where I can put a loadbang (either in the different windows or in the master patch) or a lil' thing in Preferences that I'm missing that will default the MIDI out to 'via MaxMSP 1' upon startup without me having to go in and swap them all manually?

I'll attach pictures if what I'm saying is unclear.

Thanks in advance!

Here's my patch with all of its subpatches. You need to have the cyclops object to run it.
