I'm starting work on a MIDI utility using Plug n' Script. The goal of the utility is to accept MIDI CC input, modify it, and send it out. I've got it open as a standalone app, with one of the default MIDI scripts loaded. I don't see any way to get it to accept input or send output. I'm sure I'm missing something here, but how do I get it to show up as a MIDI device?

i think i got it - in PNS's Audio/Midi Preferences, enabling the MIDI in/out seems to get some communication going. I am seeing a flood of midi messages now - not what i'd expect when I send a single note out from MidiPipe. What could be going on here?

You are probably getting MIDI messages from multiple MIDI devices. Simply select the MIDI devices you want to receive events from (instead of using ALL).

Thanks for the reply! I was using this app MidiPipe to try to send MIDI messages to PNS, but I was probably complicating everything. I'll be trying later today with an actual MIDI control surface, which should work more predictably.
