Re: [PD] sending midi notes as a string

hi Gary,

if running your tcl code from within the pd-gui process, the easiest tcl command would be "pd mytarget 60 120 1 ;", while having a [r mytarget] -> [noteout] in a Pd patch. Tot might prove handy for quickly checking things out -- prototyping the real thing by sending "tot pd mytarget 60 120 1 .`.:" or similar messages, to a [tot .] object.

Otherwise (e.g. when running a remote tcl process), one option would be talking to [netreceive].

I'm playing around with TCL/Wish connected via tcp socket to PD. Is it possible to send a command that will allow PD to play a midi note out on a given midi port? - like "notein 60 1 120" etc I'de like to use TCL to generate midi music and have PD play it out on midi.
