hi *!
am i the only one who thinks that non-configurable autoconnection to jack and alsa-midi ports is a) wrong and b) a major pain in the ass?
is there a way to prevent pd from doing this? particularly in the alsa midi case, it's a really blatant misfeature, because in the presence of a software midi thru port, it will immediately create a parameter loop which will make any connected midi controller go wild and burn its motors.
my preferred behaviour would be no autoconnect at all. second best option is configurable auto-connect ports. i wonder what the rationale behind the current behaviour is? i mean, pd is all about drawing wires, so surely a pd user can be expected to be able to connect his/her audio and midi ports correctly?
best,
jörn
