Hello list!
I have some problems with the xeq-external: I managed now to play midi files through this external, but I can't figure out (after looking through documentations), how to record midi files.
Everytime I try to write the file I get this error message: "request to write empty midifile ignored" but m midi file isn't empty !!!
Thanks for any help!! (My system: xeq and pd from the latest win-installer and WinXP)
LG Georg
PS: I attached a demo-patch which should describe my problem !
oops, sorry for my "bad" attachement!
This should work:

hi Georg,
before an event stream starts, send a message 'retrack' to xeq_record -- a recording track has to get a valid name first. Valid name is <tracknumber>-<basename>, so it might be 'record, retrack 1-track', or 'retrack 777-test, record', etc. For some odd reason the default name is not valid.
Track naming rules are inflexible, undocumented, and unwise...
