It's explained in the Live manual, chapter 'Routing and I/O'.

Well... i need to make a max plugin that shows 1x "notein" that monitors the notes on one midi track, and in the same device/max plugin that shows 1x "notein" that monitors notes from another miditrack

If i just send the midi via the ableton routing, it mixes up the two midi signals.

Any ideas how to work this out ???

In this case you need to build your device as "multitimbral instrument" separating the different inputs by midi *channel*. Here are the main steps.

- make sure your device is based on a *Max Instrument* template.

- ln the patch use 2 notein objects, [notein 1] and [notein 2].

- as input of the track where the device is on choose 'no input'.

- as output of the sending tracks choose the receiver track, and channel 1 resp. 2.
