Hi,

okay so I installed the mrpeach-v0-0-extended package from deken on my 0.48-vanilla on mac osx. Then I added a search path to the downloaded folder in the preferences: /Users/myname/Documents/Pd/externals/mrpeach

This is where deken has installed the binaries and the help-file-patches.

Then I added "-lib mrpeach" to the startup-flag section in the startup-preferences.

Then I restarted Pd and in the console it said: "mrpeach: can't load library".

Then I opened a new patch and put in a [declare -lib mrpeach] and then I was able to create [midifile] object. Actually I just tried to do that without the [declare -lib mrpeach] and even this lets me create a [midifile] object. Hm okay..

Then I tried to open the help file for [midifile] by right-clicking it, but then in the console it says: .pd no such window (or something like that).

Then I went back to the startup-preferences and added this flag: -helppath /Users/myname/Documents/Pd/externals/mrpeach

..because I can see the help file for midi file is in there!

Then I restarted Pd and when I want to open [midifile]'s helpfile again via right-click, in the console it says "sorry, cannot find help file mrpeach-help.pd".

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.

hmmm, i must be doing something wrong

Best, Jakob

Hey,

IOhannes seems to have built this for macOS in 2015. I did not know that the "extended"-uploads in Deken can be used for vanilla as well. I thought vanilla and extended are not compatible and that there might be some trouble running "extended" externals in vanilla. You already can see: I am not an expert :)

Best, Jakob

Hi Jakob,

I have uploaded Windows versions of midifile via deken -- look for
'midifile'. Unfortunately I have no access to a mac these days.
Someone else may be able to build it for mac, the source is included
in the package.
