I'm trying to get MIDI output from Pd working, though any object related to MIDI that I put into the canvas shows up in a comment box with a dashed red outline. This is also the case when referencing these objects in Help. I have no idea what this means or how to get around it

Objects with red outlines? (brand new user here)

@jmarchuk Hello.....
What operating system?.... Which version of Pure Data?
In windows it should always work.
Do you have the same problem in the menu "Media" "Test audio and Midi"..... I expect that you do.......
You could have a corrupted download, or something blocked by a gatekeeper or some other security feature, or?
Do you have midi running well in other apps?

@whale-av Sorry, I'm on Mac OS Yosemite. And yes, MIDI runs perfectly fine on other software/DAWs/instruments. I'm using Pd 0.43.4-extended

@jmarchuk Just a thought, if you are a brand new user I would strongly suggest that you start off with either pd "vanilla" or Purr Data, since Pd extended is no longer supported (and, I may add, was causing me all sorts of problems with crashes and overheating on mac).
