Hi ,

I try to understand how the Midiout work in Pure data. Is it possible to send midi data to multiple channel with this object? I try to send data from PD to Fruity loops through midi, but I just can use one channel... If someone has an idea...
thanks

As far as I know, you will need to specify one channel per midiout.

To route between two programs on the same machine try LoopBe1(windows only i think) from http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html

I use it in some kiosks with heavy use. Free for non-commercial application.

It sets up a virtual MIDI driver which you can select as a MIDI out device in PD, and I assume a MIDI In for fruity loops.

I know it works with PD, Director(with MIDIioXtra), and Reason 4.

However, I have had trouble with it if using the midiout object. Works fine with noteout, ctlout, etc.

Ok,

thanks for all this information.
To link between the two programs, I already use Midi Yorke, it work fine.
But I don't know what is the difference between the midiout object and the noteout object...

And I don't know how to specify a channel for each midi object. For example, if I want to use the channel number 2, do I write "midiout 2", or something like that ?

In my last post I made a mistake.

Midiout is a universal out of raw MIDI data. This only works on Linux. Since I am on using windows, I am not sure exactly how to send messages through [midiout].

If you are are on windows(i know) or mac(i think) you wil nedd to use the [noteout] to send note data [ctlout] for controler info [prgout] for program changes etc.

So if you want to send MIDI note 60 at velocity of 100 to channel 2 you can

[60 100(

[noteout 2]

or you can leave [noteout] blank and include the channel in the meassage.
