Howdy David,

after Martin Peach's unfortunate passing, his externals have been mirrored on GitHub in the pd-externals group:

https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach

These externals are used by a great number of people and I do not considered them abandoned.

I would suggest opening an issue on this repo and continuing the discussion there.

Hi!

Is anyone still supporting the MrPeach external, in particular, [mrpeach/midifile]? I've had no luck creating MIDI files, except for the most trivial of examples. If I try to play back the file, I just get a stream of error messages like the following:

midifile: No running status on track 0 at 957

And if I try to play it back using [cyclone/seq], I get the following error messages:

seq's warning: missing running status in midi file... skip to end of track seq's warning: no valid miditracks

And if I try to play the file with Windows Media Player, I get the following error:

Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

I'd like to use [mrpeach/midifile] rather than [cyclone/seq] because it seems to have more features (ability to specify track numbers, save meta-data, etc.). But if nobody is supporting it any more, maybe I'll just forget it. I've posted questions on the forum ( https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/ https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/), but so far I haven't been able to solve the problem.

Also, if anyone knows of more extensive examples of its use than what's in the help file, that might be helpful too. But so far, Google hasn't turned up any.

Thanks.
