I'm just messing around making a polyphonic softsynth but am experience difficulty getting MIDI in through the midiin object.

Midiin -> midiparse -> unpack 00 -> number boxes

I am not getting note on/off and velocity values being given out.

Using the notein object I have no issue, the info is there... and I have tried setting the various ports connected using midiinfo.

Is there something fundamental that I am missing here or is midiin or my system misbehaving?

Its ok - problem solved - sort of - for some reason sending the midin object the port to use does not work - whereas choosing the port by double clicking on the midiin object works fine.

This still leaves me the problem of useability though.

What haven't I included to make the umenu work?
