Hello list,

Can anybody tell me how to record MIDI info from [notein] with duration info as well into a text file or a .mid file? [xeq] seems like a good external for this, but I am using MacOs and this external does not function with MacOs. I have also tried to use [qlist], [textfile] and [seq] but "no method for float" came as an error, or I could not be able to record-read any MIDI info?

Is there any patch example of [glist], [textfile] to solve my problem?

I have been working on a Pd message recording/playback/looping patch based on [textfile]. It has a few bugs still, but you can get it (with documentation) as part of the newest archives of Copy Me - Gravity at

http://puredata.info/Members/claudiusmaximus/copyme/gravity/source/

It is called "eveloop" for "event looper". It won't record note durations as such, but it will record delay times between individual events (like note-on and note-off) if you pack them each into a single message like [noteon 1 60 64( or similar. Open cm_g_eveloop-help.pd and play around. It requires IEMLIB or compatible [prepend] & [gate] (the DCM100 Mixtab patches are only required for the main Gravity patch).
