Re: [PD] seq (cyclone) object help patch not working - for midi file playback

You might be interested in xeq, it's like a suped up seq:

Try [noteout] instead of [midiout]. What you say should be possible,
but yeah, there aren't a lot of people using MIDI with Pd these days.

Thanks for the link, although that just looks to be a video of
someone playing with the help patch :)

I am worried that I am trying to do something which is a bad idea -
I want to use PD to trigger little MIDI loops, and potentially
adjust the midi data on the way out, and/or change looping points
at runtime (etc). Is there a better approach to do this in PD, or
is [seq] the best way? Or is this something that noone does and I
may find is less workable than I was hoping?

I am compelled by the idea of generating the midi loops elsewhere
in fully-featured sequencers, but utilising PD for interacting/ triggering/looping/processing them in a more flexible manner than
sequencers allow... I would be grateful for any suggestions.

I think it may simply be that midiout is not working too well for
me, I will further investigate that.

Is it possible that not many people are using [midiout] either?

thanks again Rua HM.

I guess a lot of people don't use [seq]. This video looks useful:

If you improve the docs, please submit them to the patch tracker so
that we can include it in the SVN repository.

I didn't get any responses to my previous message - was it
filtered away due to links in my sig? Anyway, reposting with a bit
more info. This all relates to pd-extended 0.40.3 on various
platforms

I am unable to get the seq help patch to work correctly for
playback on linux. I am running 64studio, a variant of debian. The
"test audio and midi" patch produces midi notes so I know that
midi is working. Note that test audio and midi uses noteout,
whereas seq test uses midiout.

I have succesfully had the seq help patch playback notes on OS X.
I tried on windows and was unable to get seq help to produce notes
when playing back the test midi file; again, test audio and midi
was successful.

Any ideas? do i have a problem with the midiout object? The editor
with seq shows some note data has been successfully read. Can
someone give me some tips on how to work through this problem?

thanks Rua HM.

linux

I'm having trouble getting seq to work - I'm using pd-extended
0.40.3 running on linux/debian/64studio.

I have the midi outs of PD connected to amSynth via ALSA midi in
JACK (QJackCtl).

noteout in "test audio and midi" works ok, and plays notes on
amSynth, but the seq test patch, routed to midiout, doesn't seem
to produce any notes.

It is producing something, as I connected things randomly up to a
noteout and was able to make some noises..

Can someone give me some pointers on why midiout (or seq?) might
be misbehaving? Can someone else running 0.40.3 on linux check
that the seq-help patch is working for them?

Thanks Rua HM
