hi pd-list!
Playing around with pd and Jack enabled, i can't figure out how to send midi to PD. Audio is sent&received OK through Jack but Jack doesn't see any midi in/out ports from PD. How can it be done? "pd -jack -listdev" replies "device listing not implemented for jack yet"
Latest version i tried was pd-0.37.0-3.cvs (from the ccrma archives) on a Fedora with ccrma kernel.
PD only supports raw midi devices yet. To make it routable you would have to use the snd-virmidi drive like this:
- modprobe snd-virmidi
- ln -s /dev/snd/midiC1D0 /dev/midi4
- pd -mididev 5
The pd output/input will show up in your alsa sequencer as port "Virmidi 1"
(Short version of Franks PD ALSA MIDI document .. which I can't find at the moment)
If you have more than one soundcard, you might have to adjust line 2) (change midiC1D0 to midiC2D0)
