Thanks for the link, although that just looks to be a video of someone playing with the help patch :)
I am worried that I am trying to do something which is a bad idea - I want to use PD to trigger little MIDI loops, and potentially adjust the midi data on the way out, and/or change looping points at runtime (etc). Is there a better approach to do this in PD, or is [seq] the best way? Or is this something that noone does and I may find is less workable than I was hoping? I am compelled by the idea of generating the midi loops elsewhere in fully-featured sequencers, but utilising PD for interacting/triggering/looping/processing them in a more flexible manner than sequencers allow... I would be grateful for any suggestions. I think it may simply be that midiout is not working too well for me, I will further investigate that. Is it possible that not many people are using [midiout] either? thanks again Rua HM. ----- Original Message ---- From: Hans-Christoph Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Rua Haszard Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Monday, 17 November, 2008 11:21:12 AM Subject: Re: [PD] seq (cyclone) object help patch not working - for midi file playback I guess a lot of people don't use [seq].
