Hi, Im new to this list and first of all I would like to congratulate the PD creators&mantainers for this marvelous experience Ive been having these last three days, undergoing the fantastic tutorials & building my first PDinstruments. This is what ive been looking for for years (i knew of MAX, but not for PC, and cmusic is fine but...).
Iīm running pd under WIN98 with a SB 64Gold and nothing was easier as installation. Audio works great (at least it did in the tutorial files), but when i started building my first (MIDI) instruments timing is really poor. In a simple scheme like the one in the tutorial for noteon object (noteon + metro) i canīt get a steady output.
- My question is: Is it due to a pd timing problem under WIN98 (if i put up a counter it doesnt seem to update regularly either)? or maybe to MIDI driver problems.
- Another question is how do i select the port to which midi messages will be directed?
 
Thanks again for PD!!!!!!
