Hi I'm a very new new newbie in Pd. Sorry if my question seems stupid but I want to know how to route midi messages from Pd to another sofware like Reaktor. I want to control my ensembles with a joystick. I'm a bit lost with midiout ctlout etc ...
Is there anything to deal with IAC driver (Macbook) ?
Thanks for answering.

hi kaia,

go to preferences->midi settings, and set IAC as your midi out.

then [ctlout] should do the trick for you

thanks for your reply hardoff,

in my Pd midi setting preferences, the output device is set to none without any other choice even if IAC driver is activated ...

hi
I just wanted to let you know that everything works fine now. I can use my joystick as a controller in Reaktor !
Thanks for your help.

i have the same issue you reported, but have been unable to resolve it. What did you do to get fix the issue? were you able to get choices in the midi preferences dropdowns?

Thanks!

make sure that the IAC bus is actually switched on. its icon will appear in utilities->audio/midi settings, but by default it is not switched on. you have to do it manually.

Thanks for your help! Now I can get the IAC bus to select in the preferences, but I am still not getting any midi output to the app I am sending to. I am jsut creating a test patch so I have some random numbers feeding into the noteout object. Midi out is going to IAC and in my other app IAC is goign into midi in. I am gettign the following messages in the parent window:

error: midiin: works under Linux only

... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.

What are you actually sending - CCs or note? By the looks of your console readout you;re attempting a lot of different things! Use [ctrlout] and [noteout] on os x

If you have IAC bus setup correctly in both apps then make sure that the slave app is receiving midi into the track. Depending on the app, make sure that it is armed. You might have to enable things......what are you using anyway?

It will work you just have to figure the dataflow correctly.

I realize the issue now. I was not using messges to feed the noteout object. NOw I feel like a moron. The above errors were just gerneated durign experimentation.

Thanks again for your help.
