i tend to use a combination of gmidimon, PD, and a couple of simple csound patches to test midi input/output. gmidimon, in particular, is fairly effective for seeing whether you're getting midi input or not, although it's kinda buggy. for sending out you could probably use PD (or jmax), or one of the other apps mentioned in prior emails. glyn Russell Hanaghan wrote: > Dont know that your going to get off that easy! :) > >If it were me I would do the following... > >
