I'm having problems with the gate object in my patch. I'm trying to make a relay for MIDI messages, so that when i press a key on my physical controller the first time it sends the midi note message to another application. Then when i press the same key a second time the note-off message is send. I need the patch to remember the "on/off" setting for a lot of individual keys, so i've cooked up this patch:

It works, but the problem is that there seems to be something strange with the way the gate object evaluates input. When i press one key on my controller, and then another, the gate doesn't switch the output gate until next time i press the second key, thus resulting in the wrong segment of my patch recieving the message. If anyone can help me, i'd be very grateful.

What OS are you running? If you're on WIndows, are you sure that the built-in firewall is also disabled?

I was also confused by this for a while. I figured out that the note-off message is actually just a normal note message, but with a velocity of 0. So if you need to dynamically send the note-offs, instead of timing them with makenote, you just send the corresponding data with velocity 0 to a noteout object. Hope this helps!

I'm also attaching the actual patch file.
