I cannot recognize USB MIDI interfaces anymore without restarting Pd.
just curious: did this actually work before? at least on Windows I've always had to restart Pd when I plug in a new MIDI device, but maybe that's because of portmidi.

Mmmhh,
I really don't want to use jack for this. I simply need to know what I can do so that Pd sees new MIDI interfaces when I reload the the midi dialog after connecting a new USB MIDI device.
The way it was on Pd-exended was that Pd would search for MIDI devices when when you opened the MIDI dialog "OSS-MIDI" while running Pd. Now it doesn't do this anymore ...
Pd actually ignores the Media/MIDI settings. If I set the input to "none" and hit apply it still uses the MIDI input from the startup - even though it shows "none" in the MIDI settings. Please someone tell me that there is a way to do this!
Is there any kind of a command to send to Pd to update the MIDI device list? I really need to stay compatible with my previous software and operating systems. Reloading the patch is not an option.

Hi everybody,
I know this has been coverd before but somehow I can't find it.
I'm having a problem that after switching to Pd 0.48.1 on Debian 9.5 I cannot recognize USB MIDI interfaces anymore without restarting Pd. Can anybody tell me how to do this or point me to the relevant
information?
I used to simply recall the MIDI dialog and it was there - that's not the case anymore.
use alsa-midi and some external software (like qjackctl) to manage the connection between the devices and Pd.
