thanks for the quick reply again martin,
it's a strange problem that i seem to be having.
because i definitely have all the midifiles in the same folder as the patch but
[midifile test.mid]
...or...
[read test.mid(---[midifile]
gives... 'error: midifile: unable to open test.mid'
but when i do
[bang]---[openpanel]---[read $1(---[midifile]
and point it to 'test.mid' it seems to work?
hmmmm...
unfortunately for what i want to do i need to be able to automate opening different midifiles.
i'm using your zip from http://puredata.info/Members/martinrp/midifile/midifile.zip/viewthanks again in advance!

Just
like
that.
Or
send
a
message
or
symbol
containing
the
path
to
the
[read
$1(
message.
It's
probably
easier
if
all
the
files
are
in
the
same
directory
as
the
patch.
