[Could you turn off the html-formating and send text? Some subscribers
including me tend to ignore html-mails. Thank you.]

Looking at the PD-patch, you sent in an earlier mail (and that I ignored
because of the html), you are using the [noteout], [ctlout], ... midi
objects without argument, that is you make them send on channel 1 only.
You can change this, if you give these objects a channel number as
arguments, for example [noteout 2] or [noteout 10] will only send on
midi channel 2 or 10 respectivly. Otherwise you will need to send the
[noteout] object a three part message including the channel number to
use as last argument.

Hope that helps,
