so if i have an m4l instrument, and i send that midi output to another track so i can record it, no note will be recorded. if i use a normal midi input like a keyboard first, then it does work. so if i have a pure m4l instrument with no external midi input, can i record the midi output into another track in any way?

How are you sending out the midi to another track ?

I think your best way is to grab the midi instead by simply using Live's own features. So stop the sending, pull up the i/o section (i-o icon at the right side of the screen), select the track you're trying to send midi to and set "midi from" to the track with the m4l instrument on it.

Now this track will receive the midi data when you arm it (or turn on monitoring).

- thats what i've tried... if i have noteout and midi out object in m4l, other midi tracks in ableton dont pickup those notes, with the correct routing (using "midi from" the m4l track)

thanks for the reply.

I think the problem is that you have built the device as an *instrument*.

But to access its midi output, it must be a midi *effect* device.
