Hey friends,

i have a raspberry pi that executes a bash script on startup. Inside this bash script I want two things to happen.

1) start my pd patch

2) connect my launchpad mini (connected via usb) to pd using the aconnect-command

 

 

..i think i have to use aconnect because in pd itself i only see alsa midi as a midi device. 

 

 

At the moment, my bash script only looks like this:

 

#!/bin/bash

sudo /usr/local/bin/pd -nogui -rt -open /home/pi/Documents/RSP/RSP/myPatch.pd

aconnect 'Pure Data':1 'Launchpad Mini':0

aconnect 'Launchpad Mini':0 'Pure Data':0

 

The problem is that the aconnect-commands seem to be not executed or executed too early because the virtual midi connections are not made.

The aconnect-commands have to be done after pd is started, so how could I change the script to wait until pd is done loading?

Thanks!
