Hi there,
I need a little help with getting my midi controller (edirol pcr-50) to work with pd (emerged 0.37) and linux (gentoo 2.6.12-r10).
alsa is up and running, aconnect -i -o gives me the following outpout:
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 64: 'Audigy MPU-401 (UART)' [type=kernel] 0 'Audigy MPU-401 (UART)' 32 'Audigy MPU-401 #2' client 65: 'Emu10k1 WaveTable' [type=kernel] 0 'Emu10k1 Port 0 ' 1 'Emu10k1 Port 1 ' 2 'Emu10k1 Port 2 ' 3 'Emu10k1 Port 3 ' client 80: 'PCR' [type=kernel] 0 'PCR MIDI ' 1 'PCR 1 ' 2 'PCR 2 '
... so i guess that the controller gets recognised by both the usb subsystem and alsa. The controller also shows up in the graphical alsa-patch-bay. however, I can't get it to work with pd: pd -alsa -listdev gives me a "no midi input/output devices found" error message.
Do i really have to use a virmidi soundcard to get those midi signals into pd? this would be a bit odd, since it involves yet another "man in the middle" ...
thank you for your help, thoralf.
