hi nic,

my midi controller is also not working with PD...

i've got a EES 2/4 midi controller 4 paraller port (+ beta drivers 4 win2k)

(http://www.ees-musik.de/ees_html.gb/pcmdrv_e.htm)

and when i try "pd -midiindev" PD just crashes (pd0.35-16)

but all other midi programs work with ees...

i've got also a onboard joystk/midi port on my MB, but its deactivated in the bios because i don't need midi 4 pd at the moment... (midi from soundcards joystickPort should work with pd)

sorry that i couldnt help, but i'm a newbie 2 :)

-andre

Subject: [PD] solutions for my XP problems

when i type pd at the command prompt i get this message:

«not using MIDI input (use pd -midiindev 1 to override

C:

spawnl: No such file or directory

C:/bin/wish83.exe: couldn't load TCL»

i typed again using the advice and i got this also:

«midiInOpen: A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system.»

i put all files in the pd1 folder.

i tried version 0.34-4.msw and 0.35-test16.msw

since this is my first try with pd, i have absolutely no idea what to do.

thanks a lot for any advice.
