Hi,
I am trying to get PD to work with my Soundblaster Live! card on Windows NT. When I test Audio / Midi, I can hear the audio, but have no idea how to test the midi in.
Basically, I am using sensors to send MIDI to MIDI in of the SBLive! card. I have tested everything on a Linux box running PD, so I know the external hardare, and PD patch works. BUT, on windows, it doesn't MIDI IN.
I start PD with -midiindev 1. This prevents the message "MidiInOpen: there is no driver installed in your system (or something like that). I have drivers installed for MIDI, but I have no idea what else to try to get it to work.
Any thoughts? thanks
Eric

What kind of MIDI data are your sensors sending? If its controller info. You should see numbers changing below ctlin on the testtone patch. If you type pd -listdev in a command prompt from the pd\bin directory you will see all the devices that PD recognizes. Make sure you SBLIVE is there and designated MIDI input device #1 . Good luck.

Thanks for the response.
I am sending polytouch. My project works fine on my linux machine. But darn that NT. I lauch PD -midiindev 1. I get no errors on start up, but no midiin either. I can see the devices with -listdev, and thus why I flag midiindev 1 because it is SB LIVE IN.
Interesting to not that if I launch PD without flags, or pd -listdev, I get the message: midiInOpen: there is no driver installed on your system. pd -midiindev 1 launches without the message, but no midi in.
Perplexed and seeking
