I am also new to MIDI programming on the Mac and seem to be running
into a similar problem with the code I am working on. My packets seem
to be correct according to what I see in the debugger but
unfortunately my data is not making its way out to the device I am
testing with. I fear I may have set up the gOutPort incorrectly in my
code. Following the echo example code, I am able to see all of the
available devices, but I can't seem to find any examples of how to
find out what gOutPort should be set to for those devices. Is there
something I am missing or am I going about this in completely the
wrong way? Thanks,
-Brian
