Hey Martin, thanks for the hint. When I read a recorded file that should actually have some recorded notes in it and then load it again with the midifile-read-help-patch, then I get this (verbosity = 3)
midifile_open_path (absolute): /Users/wbjc/Desktop/mp2.mid
midifile: opened /Users/wbjc/Desktop/mp2.mid midifile: Header chunk type: MThd midifile: Header chunk length: 6 midifile: Header chunk format: 0 (Single multichannel track) midifile: Header chunk ntrks: 1 midifile: Header chunk division: 0xE714: 25 frames per second, 20 ticks per frame other_meta: frames_per_sec 25 other_meta: ticks_per_frame 20 midifile: Track chunk 0 type: MTrk, length 35
Does not look like something has been recorded, right?
Best, Jakob

Then I opened the help file directly from the ../Pd/externals/mrpeach-folder by double-clicking it and I followed the steps for writing to a file. I
- choose a file
- put the 2 ms into the right inlet of [metro] and then start [metro]
- hit some notes on a usb midi controller connected to pd (the [notein] shows notes coming in)
- hit |flush(
- stop the metro
Then I copy the newly created midi file into ableton, but I cannot see any midi notes being displayed for that file.
Maybe try to load it using the midifile playback subpatch, You can set the verbosity to see what was recorded, if anything. possibly ableton expects some meta information at the start of the file.
