Dear list,
I am trying to understand how midi works in Pd, and how to facilitate the connection to a midi device.
I m using Pd 0.46-6 on AVlinux with JACK. When using JACK, OSS midi doesn't work. ALSA does, but in an odd way (at least to me).
Pd doesn't appear as a writeable midi client in JACK by default, until I ask Pd to open port 1 (or any non-zero positive integer it seems). I can then automate the connection in JACK using a patchbay profile.
Is there no easier way ? Is it possible to save the midi device in Pd the way sound settings are saved ? It would be nice if we could send a message to Pd when loading a patch to open a specific midi port.
Cheers,
Pierre.
