[PD] midi pd and logic

[Mitchell Turner]

Matthew,
I am able to do this by using an IAC Bus (create in the Audio MIDI  
Setup application).

Then you can follow the directions at:
http://www.gl0tch.com/logic_v_1.html

You will want to make a few minor changes, however.

I'm using PD-0.38.0 where there is a MIDI Settings under the Media  
menu.  I've set PD to send on IAC Bus #1. Then in logic, go to the  
Environment and select the "Clicks and Ports" layer.  Then stretch  
out the "Physical Input" by grabbing the lower right hand side and  
pulling.  This will allow you to see which of the outputs the IAC Bus  
is assigned to.

Now, Option+Click the pointy thing on the right of the Physical Input  
assigned to the IAC Bus. Set the resulting menu to the Audio  
Instrument you want to send MIDI data from PD to.  Now you should be  
able to send PD's MIDI data to the Audio Instrument.

If you want to control the MIDI data from PD on a per channel basis,  
you will need to create an Channel Splitter object in the  
environment, connect the Physical input from IAC Bus to the Channel  
splitter, then connect the various MIDI channel outputs on the  
Channel splitter to various Audio Instruments using the Option+Click  
trick above.

Please ask if this is in someway unclear.  Also, Id be happy to send  
you an example patch as well.  Email me off list for the example patch.
Mitch
