hi everybody

i am just getting into pd, nevermind my lack of knowledge.

how can i get MIDI information from pd to logic 8, for example to give random midi to an ultrabeat?

[noteout]

plus an IAC bus!
go to Audio/midi set up and in the midi tab you'll find it

Hey, I've got Pd sending MIDI notes to Logic no problem but it's only on one channel.

Basically I have two sets of MIDI notes connected to noteouts. One is called [noteout 1] and the other [noteout 2]. Like so:

[60] [70] [80] [90] [100] [110]
| | | | | |
[noteout 1] [noteout 2]

In Logic, I've set one software instrument to be on MIDI channel 1 and the other MIDI channel 2 but the messages from both noteout objects are being sent to both software instruments at the same time. So rather than [noteout 1] being a guitar and [noteout 2] being a piano, they're both both.

How do I send the MIDI notes out on different channels?

Logic tracks listen to all channels on one port. IIRC you have to go into the Environment window and fix the routing in there. It's actually easier to just make a separate IAC bus and change [noteout 2] to [noteout 17].

There is a nice video tutorial here:
