On OS X, is there a way to route Pd midi internally to the Quicktime synthesizer? Is there an answer for an equivalent on Windows and LInux?
If the QT Synth appears as a normal MIDI client on whatever operating system you use, it shouldn't be hard.
On OSX you have to open up "Audio MIDI Setup" and see if the QT Synth appears as a MIDI device. If it does, then you can connect to it under the MIDI devices in PD. Make sure you leave the "Audio MIDI Setup" dialog open. Closing it prevents PD from accessing MIDI devices!
On Linux, if QT Synth is setup as an ALSA Midi device, you can use the ALSA Midi in PD, or better yet use JACK to connect the MIDI ports. On Windows, MidiOx should take care of the job (I guess...).
best wishes + report back! d.
So long as the QT synth appears as

I've only tried so far on OS X. The problem is the Quicktime Synthesizer doesn't show up on the Audio Midi Setup ... so it doesn't appear to be reachable .... I've tried on a few computers.

do you mean the new jack midi transport? afaik there is hardly any software that supports that one.
otoh, alsa midi is totally capable of that. what derek is probably suggesting is to use a "connector-gui" like qjackctl, which - although primarily written to connect jack audio ports
- can be used to connect alsa midi ports as well.

Yes, I meant QJackctl, not Jack MIDI Transport, which I think is designed escp for Ardour and similar "timeline" based Linux Audio apps. Sorry if I confused.
