Hello !
Since pure data just connects alle MIDI-ins and MIDI-outs to his instance under alsamidi also the MIDI-Through is connected which in fact is a feedback a therefore dangerous and bad.
If this behaviour is changes all old patches using MIDI (I used aconnect to connect) doesnt work anymore.
Is there a reason for this behaviour ?
I think on alsa midi the philosophy is that connection should be done by alsa tools. There are templates and so on so that automatically the right devices are connected, no need for pd to do this (as for other programms which doesnt respect this).
