As this is probably a question that will keep coming up, I decided to wrap up some of the answers in one of the puredata.info FAQ pages: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/midiinput Please double check this and make any changes you see fit.

I know I've said this before, but we should always strive to get some of the great info here off list and onto the FAQ / PD website.

I used MIDI yoke long time ago but it seems that it is not updated any
more for newer windows os.


The MIDI router question is for recommendations for students of mine.
I run also Ubuntu sometimes but never or very seldom OSX. Maybe it
could be something to have on Pd web site with some recommendations
about this as I guess it is something that many new users wants to
start exploring - to use Pd as a MIDI engine for other softwares!?

So to extend a little what is the best MIDI routers (in general) for

-Linux

-OS X

?


All the best,
Björn
