hi, how do i get loopmidi to recieve more than just the test signal from pd.?? i am using touch osc and pd receives all but i dont know how to get these messages over to loopmidi

What's loopmidi? Does it receive OSC messages? How are you receiving messages from TouchOSC in Pd?

its a virtual loopback driver for windows.
you can select it in pd's midi-properties.

Well, I've never tried to send data to a midi controller. Maybe [midiout] [ctlout] or [pgmout] works? Otherwise, if it's OSC I could help..

I send MIDI messages from pd to loopmidi all the time...

If everything is setup right, loopMIDI appears as just another MIDI device. Just select it when choosing your MIDI output (or input) device for pd.

And yes, it does work - wonderfully. If you're not seeing it as a valid port, then loopMIDI isn't actually running.
