Hey Guys.
Pure Data says: "error: midirealtimein: works under MSW only", when i try to make the midirealtimein-object. What is MSW? Can anybody help me?
I have the 0.41.4 version of PD.

Thanks in advance!

That error is a load of bull. I works fine on OSX and Linux (i think). Someone just needs to delete that print error from the source code to stop it doing that because it might put people off actually using the object, thinking that it might not work...

MSW is microsoft windows

Thanks boonier, but it wont do...

Well.. the object wont work for me, unless I follow a specific and quite unusual three step procedure:

1. Press play on Ableton
2. Open PD and set the midi preferences
3. Open the PD patch

But then the Ableton Live set and the PD patch are staggered, as you might guess. I've tried quite a bit and this weird procedure is the only one that works..
BTW, I'm using OSX.

I'm not too sure how you are trying to implement it. There are a few variables in ableton and pd that can affect the timing.. Usually what I do is let Pd keep its own time and get the start stop messages from the midi sync to start/stop a metro(s)... So assuming the ableton is sending clock to an iac bus and pd is receiving from the same iac bus, thenwiring a [midirealtime] should give you clock messsages for start (250) stop(252) and pulse (OTOH cant remember but you can use this to drive your own counter mechanisms, but I find it jitters a bit)

check the attachment....

btw, you won't get rewire tight sync, it's usually a few ms of jitter, but its usually acceptable and barely noticable. I also fine that running everything in Jack mode is more reliable

Thanks again. Also a good way of doing it, but the signal do not reach PD. I'm checking it with [print] and [print] do not spit any numbers out.

Ah right have you used a 3rd party app like Midi monitor to see if there is any midi activity? Sometimes ableton craps out and doesn't send anything out. Maybe reboot and see if this helps

I haven't tried a 3rd party app, but I am completely sure that Ableton spits out the clock signal, because PD receives the clock if I just follow the three step procedure that I mentioned earlier (first reply). I have tried rebooting, but nothing happens.. I'll download the newer version of PD and see if it helps...

The bug is removed from 0.42.5! Never use 0.41.4!

Thanks for you'r help Bonnier.

Thats ok, glad its working, though i remember that object working fine in 0.41.4.........maybe its something else
