Hi PD list, Can anybody recommend a midi sequencing application that works well with pd and possibly jack?
what you mean by 'works well' is heavily dependent on what you intend to do. when using midi or streaming sound around, i see no other way than using jack as a communication layer between the application and puredata. from that point, any app that has jack-ability works technically well with pd.
PD's [midiin]s can recieve from jack midi ports?
it seems so. at least when starting pd with '-jack' (well, that flag still doesn't work here, but i use a workaround by sending a message [audio-setapi <some values>( ), pd shows up in jacks audio-connections and midi-connections dialog. and if i connect rosegarden's midi out to pd's midiin, i can receive the midimessages sent by rosagarden in pd (and vice versa, of course). this was tested on ubuntu dapper with jackd from the ubuntu-distro and pd-0.40-0 from cvs.
anyway, in pd's media menu, there is the box 'ALSA-MIDI' activated, so i don't know how to interprete this, i mean if pd really supports jack's midi, or if jack does provide some alsa emulation. at least it works.
if not, maybe you mean to suggest alsa MIDI.. and an external sequencer.
no, i mean a a software sequencer running on the same computer like pd runs on.
