[LCtalk] Midi to TCP triggers program

[Fokko van Duin]

Hello all,

As music players/sequencers (e.g. Ableton) can only send MIDI triggers 
(in the form of program changes / bank select), I decide to write an 
example MAX patch to convert the MIDI triggers to TCP commands. Once 
finished I can create a program of the patch so it can just run on a 
Macintosh or Windows XP computer.

The Midi2TCP patch listens on the virtual MIDI input, and when receiving 
a program change, it sends out a Go command via TCP to a LanBox-LCE or 
LCX.


In a program like Ableton you only need to send the bank select / 
program changes to the virtual MIDI port of this patch. As I still don't 
understand how to add a track and add program changes in Ableton Live, I 
need some help so I can test the patch.

Can anybody help me with an Ableton project which plays a music and 
sends out MIDI program changes?

Or, if you have MAX, can anybody test my midi2tcp patch with -a- 
sequencer?

Let me know,
