Hi all,
I assume Alfonso is running OSS. OSS's emu-10K1 driver doesn't allow you to "select" on incoming MIDI, so Pd sees no MIDI input. The best solution is probably to download Alsa 0.5.10 (www.alsa-project.org), install it, and compile Pd to use it...

Hi,
MIDI and ALSA seem to be very strange to each other. There is a problem in ALSA while using ALSA native MIDI drivers and nobody seems to know about it in the ALSA domain.
Therefore I think that the question should go a bit further.. Does anyone have a MIDI IN & OUT setup working in Linux with Kernels 2.2.x or 2.4.x ?
As far as the ESS Maestro chip, I have tried with OSS and ALSA and they only work in MIDI OUT mode using /dev/sequencer which in ALSA is OSS emulation. No duplex communication at all. Also many laptops don't have a game port and ESS assumes no need for MIDI. May be someday there will be a Linux driver for a USB MIDI Interface which could be used on Laptops.

As I said, audio works perfrctly well with the alsa driver. Does alsa configure midi too?
When I get to the midi help patch (midi.pd) by clicking help on the menu from a "noteout" object I don't know what values should I put in midiout:
