midi global out note

MIDI Tools in Snow Leopard (MIDI Global Out Note crashing QC)

Hi all,

I am currently trying to set up Quartz Composer to translate HID Input controls (a USB Guitar Hero X-Plorer controller) into MIDI Output, to send notes to Logic Pro.

I have downloaded the latest version of the Kineme MIDI Tools, and QC4 is letting me insert the required patch - 'MIDI Global Out Note'.

When this Patch is inserted, however, as soon as I do anything like open Logic Pro, or enable the IAC Driver in OSX Audio MIDI Setup (for virtually routing the MIDI signal), Quartz Composer instantly crashes.

Is there any documentation on whether or not the MIDI Global Out Note patch is currently working in Snow Leopard and QC4?

Due to the relative consistency of what causes Quartz Composer to crash when using this patch, it seems like the MIDI signal is at least responding to its destination (i.e Logic Pro).

It's worth noting that I have used the built-in 'MIDI Controllers Sender' patch to successfully mapped the guitar's tilt sensor and whammy bar to the Modulation Wheel and Pitchbend CC controls respectively.

If anyone has any thoughts on the above waffling, I would be ever so appreciative! Thank you in advance.
