Simple Question - Changing maxMSP 1 port name

Michael Gary Dean's icon

Hello Maxees,

I would like to rename the midiout port that max is sending from maxMSP 1 or maxMSP 2 to a custom name, but cannot figure out to do it. Also, is it possible to expand the number of midi outputs to a large number?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure wether it is possibble to rename ports, but you can create new ones. Check the "Messages to Max" section in the documentation, and scroll to the last section: MIDI Configuration Messages.
