I am having trouble setting up the IAC Bus to send data from Max/MSP 

- how do I get my data from a fader box on the IAC bus?

    - I've set up the IAC Bus in the OS X Audio MIDI Setup prefs - ie. 

    - changed the offset to '0' in the MIDI setup in Max

    - I tried sending midiin assigned to my MIDI interface to a midiout 

    - selected IAC BUs 1 in the MIDI controller panel in QC

stupid q:

it is online

nada...
clues? page in the manual?


iac-bus

I'm not sure why you need to use an IAC bus other than the ones that Max creates. Simple example:

[random 128]-[ctlout 10] (all outputting to "from MaxMSP 1")

QC: [MIDI Controllers (observe controllers 1, 7, and 10 on "from MaxMSP 1"]---[(R,G,B inputs) RGB color]-[(color input) Teapot]

The "from MaxMSP" busses work very well for getting MIDI data into QC.

Max:
[random 128]-[ctlout 1]
[random 128]-[ctlout 7]
[random 128]-[ctlout 10] (all outputting to "from MaxMSP 1")

The "from MaxMSP" busses work very well for getting MIDI data into QC.


yeah that's what I thought too...but 'from MaxMSP 1' was just not 

giving up the love for me -- and why I tried the IAC Bus next...

but I did manage to get it working using the IAC Bus after some

Tim,

giving up the love for me -- and why I tried the IAC Bus next...
but I did manage to get it working using the IAC Bus after some  
fiddling and much head scratching
thanks for the info though!
:)

IAC bus timing is crap. rewire is better if you can get it to work...

I can send midi from MAX to ableton using IAC but it doesn't seem to work from ableton to MAX.
