Peter, I have not been able to find a simple MIDI test synth either. So, I made one using Max. It is very, very simple, made for testing only. It may do want you want. You can find it here: http://home.lagrange.edu/mturner/MitchWebSite/max_and_pd_stuff.html http://home.lagrange.edu/mturner/MitchWebSite/max_and_pd_stuff.html

Apologies if I have replied incorrectly, I only get the digest version of the PD List.

Hope it helps, Mitch

Hi list,

when I still had to use OS X there was the Quicktime synthesizer available as a Midi software synthesizer in the OS. It was quite handy to quickly play a few notes from Pd's Midi objects. It seems to be gone from current (mobile-phone-like) versions of OS X. Is this correct? Is there an alternative inside the OS or can anyone recommend a good (preferable open source) replacement that works over the IAC bus?

Thanks! P
