Hi there,

I'm trying to send a midi from PD to a virtual keyboard. I am using LoopBe1 as my internal midi port.

My patch consists of a message box with a value of 60 connected to the hot inlet of a makenote object (velocity 60, duration 500). The first outlet of this is connected to the first inlet of "noteout 1', with the second outlet of makenote connected to the second inlet.

I've set the midi output device to LoopBe. I've also set the input device of the keyboard to LoopBe.

I can't see anything amiss with this setup, but the keyboard doesn't seem to be receiving any messages from PD. I switched the patch so that the keyboard was inputting midi into PD in order to test if it was a problem with LoopBe, but this doesn't seem to be the issue as pressing keys initialises the bang in the test patch.

Can anyone see where I've went wrong?

Does your patch work with the Microsoft Wavetable Synth set as ouput?
Maybe you could load up your patch here.

I agree with "bang". Normally a virtual midi keyboard outputs midi when you type on the keyboard, and you connect its output to a sampler, or a sounds generator like the windows wavetable synth. There is no reason for it to receive midi, as it cannot itself produce any sounds.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.
The keyboard has its own output called FluidSynth, but I changed it to Wavetable Synth as a test. Sadly this didn't resolve the problem. Sound is generated if I press the keys with my mouse, but it doesn't seem to be recieving anything from PD. I've uploaded the patch. Hopefully I've just made a silly mistake somewhere.

ok, your patch works.
your v-keyboard seems to have no midi input.
