HI all, about the syntax:
From the command terminal:
aconnect MIDI\ Mix:1 Pure\ Data:0 invalid destination address Pure Data:0
that's the correct syntax.
so acconect works well with \ or ', space or not with MIDI Mix, no problem on the midi controller. My problem is Pure Data. I can't access Pure Data to connect. Which is weird as Pure Data is open and I can connect from its menu.
Pd has to run (with alsamidi) :-) what's the output of 'aconnect -l'?
I used the shell because [aconnects] doesn't let me see the error message. For now I have in my patch a [aconnect( -> [shell] and [aconnects]. I downloaded you package that is probably discontinued and used that. I tried finding [aconnect] but cannot find that external. I
it's also part of the "aconnect" library (where you find [aconnects]). version 0.5 is available on deken. the library itself is not "discontinued" in the strict sense. it hasn't seen much love since 2021, but it is supposed to "just work". the repository (for feature requests, bug-reports,...) is at https://git.iem.at/pd/aconnect
[aconnect] (like [aconnects]) only gives you the error number (not the full error). (which could be a feature-request :-))
