thanks frank for reply,
Try to start pd-ext like this:
pd -alsamidi
or use the MIDI settings menu to select the ALSA midi mode. If Pd-ext doesn't want to start the ALSA midi mode, then that version probably is compiled without ALSA midi support. That would be a bug that can only be fixed by recompiling.
thats i alredy done, it seems to be a bug??
but rawmidi does also not work with my uc-33

pd extended does not show any midi device when i try to select a device number from the menu,
as wrote, my self compiled pd works out of the box!
Using the rawmidi devices should work as well in general, but maybe you have to load some additional modules (snd_rawmidi, snd-seq-oss, or so). Also Pd's way of specifihttp://footils.org/cms/show/24 ying device numbers is a bit strange. Maybe this still is helpful: http://footils.org/cms/show/24 (generally it's outdated, though)
best, alex
