Hi all,
I've been working on a project in which I'm trying to route MIDI control data from pd to automate 16 audio track faders in Live. I've run into a problem with MIDI feedback whenever I try to send multiple messages. Its really baffling me since I have no midi in set in pd and no midi out set in Ableton. I don't understand where the feedback is coming from.
I'm using LoopBe1 on a Windows machine so this might also be an issue. Or maybe I'm flooding the port?
Here's the config and what I've troubleshot so far..
pd -1 midi out set to LoopBe1
- no midi in devices
Live preferences - 1 midi in port set to LoopBe1 - Track On / Sync Off/ Remote On
- Sync Type: Midi Clock
- Port MME
All track faders are set and sync when I manually move them up and down in pd. As soon as I start sending automated messages I get a MIDI feedback error and the port is closed. I also have no issues when routing other patches that use |noteout| to midi tracks in order to send MIDI note data with this configuration.
This leads me to believe that the issue might be how I'm using ctlout, or its LoopBe1, or that its just impossible to do what I want to do with MIDI in this situation and I need to come up with a different solution entirely.
I've also tried setting up JACK but it doesn't seem to route MIDI out of pd only audio.
Hopefully you guys can help me figure this out. I've been working on various stages of this project for almost a month and its painful to get hit with such a brutal snag when I'm almost at the finish line.
Patch is posted at the bottom.
Thanks in advance!!
