Thanks Derek,
I'll take a look at it. I'm neither using jack nor alsa midi atm so I'll have to check out how I would use this.

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anybody has used the Yamaha UD-BT01 Wireless Midi Adapter (Bluetooth v4.0 MIDI) with Linux. I was wondering how you could get the MIDI data to get recognized by Pd.
Does anybody have any experience or know how to use it? I would like to use it with either Debian or Raspbian (or both).

I haven't used that particularl midi adapter, but I use a USB MIDI
footswitch a
lot with my stuff and I run Xubuntu. I use it with this program a2jmidid
which
is at least in the Ubuntu repos, I think it's supposed to bridge ALSA MIDI
and
Jack MIDI. Anyways, I then open up a ALSA MIDI channel or two in Pd. I
then
connect the two graphically via Jack using that nifty qjackctl program.
So to sum up: Logidy footswitch -> a2jmidid -> JACK (qjackctl) -> Pd via ALSA.
There prob is a way easier way to do it (mb I can get that footswitch in directly to Pd via ALSA MIDI?) but I've found it to be reliable and
rock-solid in
performance. Maybe you could follow a similar pattern with your wireless MIDI adapter.
