So I have been using LoopBE1 on a project. Started a new project that is a little more intensive on the MIDI load. LoopBe1 bites it constantly.

Looking at MIDI Yoke and Maple Virtual MIDI Driver. Any experience with these or others.

What I am doing is getting a signal from a Beringher BCF2000 to PD. PD then send the input out on 4 channels through the virtual MIDI driver to Cubase to use as a generic remote.

There are 6 continuous controllers, 3 switches capable of send MIDI as cc's to PD. Also there are 4 other buttons that send 9 cc messages at once to PD.

Any suggestions for unbreakable (given that I do not have midi loops in the system) virtual MIDI drivers?

Thanks

i was trying to use midi yoke recently to get Pd to send data to ableton and it seemed buggy, occasionally it would cause Pd to crash; this was also only sending [noteout] and [ctlout] data but using GoP-heavy patches which could've caused the problem. so i ended up playing around with max/msp + live... it worked but man, max/msp is annoying (no symbol object? what's up with that?)

maybe you'll have more luck. i'm on windows xp sp2 with pd-extended version 0.39.3-extended-rc5

Thanks for the reply. I am running an identical operating system|PD version. The MIDI yoke site has recommendations to use the Maple MIDI driver Gigastudio and Live.

If MIDI yoke is suggesting using something else for those, I think I am going to try out the Maple.

I will post back how stable it is after a bit
