throbbing midi note.
I can't seem to set the midi up right. I'm sure it's a simple fix I'm missing, but I honestly did spend a lot of time with google trying to find the answer. Hopefully someone can help out a poor newb.

I'm using a Firepod interface.
Midi settings:
Input device: PreSonus FirePod MIDI in
Output device: PreSonus FirePod MIDI out

In "testtone.pd" patch, when I click on the MIDI OUT box, I get a "throbbing" sound from my rack-mounted synth. "wah wah wah wah..." about 500 milliseconds each.

...it sounds maybe almost like a memory cutout? or something is breaking up the tone.

The hardware is all fine. If I set it up the same way with Reaper or Sonar I get a nice steady tone.

I just want PD to hold a steady pitch for MIDI out on my synth. Should be easy right? I'm on my third day trying to get it to work. Any help would be great!

Isn't that what "pd midi" in the testtone.pd patch is supposed to do? It doesn't hold a steady tone, it sends an endless stream of the same short-duration midi note. Click on [pd.midi] and you can see the default numbers that are used.

Thanks!
