- MIDI in Max. Includes objects: kslider, noteout, makenote, and a way of automating some sound and making a really basic sequencer with metro, counter, and select.
No introduction of what MIDI itself is, only how to do it in Max. For that, see: • MIDI Introduction

how to get that piano sound? although my output is audible when i check with an oscillator..but i dont get any response with this..
I'm striking harder and softer on my mouse key but it doesn't affect velocity, What am I doing wrong? (Just kidding).
Thanks. I' m not fluent in Max and I was looking for this info all over the net. Thanks again.
that's great, glad it was helpful!
How did you get that thing that says acoustic piano
hi, I'm sorry I somehow missed seeing this! That is a pre-populated umenu object. Umenu is just a regular max object that you can fill with your own menu items. This one is filled with the general midi standards. If you want to download it, you can get it on my website: kimberleeswisher.com/midiprogram
@@KimberleeSwisher Hi Kim. Would it be possible to obtain the data using [pgmin] and connect it to [umenu] or some object that would hold the data ?
@@313jacob no promises because I haven't used this myself, but it seems that yes, if you have an external midi device, you should be able to use pgmin to get the program # from the device, and then use that number to set the program with pgout.
thank you for the video... just a question... how do you make the list with the pgmout and you select whichever you want?
This is a umenu object that has been populated with all the general midi defaults. You can enter these manually by using the inspector and going to Menu Items and clicking the Edit button. Add them separated by commas. The general midi defaults can be found at the wikipedia page for general midi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI
thanks a lot!@@KimberleeSwisher

@@stuartallen2001 You can also find the complete list here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI but yours is formatted with commas and ready for the umenu! Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this. Very helpful!
Perfect tutorial! Thank you so much
Quick note: You have to first Lock the screen before being able to hear any sounds!!
Else the piano won't play~!
(Lock is in the bottom left corner!!)
Thank you for the video. But I have a question,
the three numbers below select(60, 63,67) when I save. And I open the Max again,the number all missing, all become zero. How can I improve?(sorry my English is poor.)
hi Chang, yes, Max does this. Integer boxes default to zero when you open a patch. You can you use message boxes instead. Or, if you want Max to remember the numbers that were in an integer box, you can use a preset object.
@@KimberleeSwisher THX!
cool stuff like it!!
Hello, yesterday I did this and it was working fine. Today - no sound :( and I can't figure out why...
hmmm.. Does it work if you restart Max? What about other programs on your computer, did you open GarageBand or another program that may have used the MIDI driver?
@@KimberleeSwisher I found out what's going on. It was my ASIO4ALL driver that was causing midi to crash whenever I added a video with sound to the patch.
@@rnsrp2 glad to hear you solved it!
