Dear list,
I am wondering how to use the -midiadddev flags. What is the difference between -mididev and -midiadddev, and does this apply to midi on a linux system?
The mailing list search engine reveals no result for the searchstring "midiadddev" strangely, so here we go.
Furthermore, when using alsa-midi, is there a way to set the connections on the alsa patchbay from within vanilla Pd (sans using IOhannes' aconnect external nor aconnect from the command line after Pd has been started)?
i usually use qjackctl for that which despite it's name can also handle alsa midi and can monitor connections to auto-connect (or disconnect) them by name.
Yes, that's what I am using until now as well, but I would like to avoid qjackctl's auto-connect in order to keep my midi connection scheme independent, on a per-patch basis, within the startup shell script, but without spawning a second (aconnect) process after launching Pd.
But I think I remember Miller once explained on this list why including aconnect's functionality within Pd itself was somehow difficult or not advisable.
thanks, P
