Hi IOhannes,

I am using Windows NT with a Steinberg USB MIDI interface. The drivers were installed properly as far as I know.

The USB MIDI interface was picked up by the OS yesterday when I checked in the Control Panel.

Using "pd -listdev" the MIDIinOpen still tells me that there is no driver installed in the system.

Marcus.

Hello, I am trying to demo some of my PD work on a different machine...only problem is that I keep getting the error:

"midiInOpen: There is no driver installed on your system".

Where can I get this driver? I have been trying to use a USB MIDI interface....is USB supported by Pure_Data?

USB is not directly supported by pd. however, it is the job of the driver to hide the hardware-facts from the application. we have both windows and linux machines (well, it's one dual-boot machine) that work with roland's um1 perfectly under pd.

so :: which os are you using ? is the gx110 supported ? i am not sure, whether the gx110 is supported under linux. are the drivers installed correctly (i guess so, but who knows) under linux: do you have a /dev/midi ? under windoze: (i don't know, but) check whether you find your midi-device somewhere under properties/multimedia (or whatever it is under your personal taste-windoze: it's all different on 95/98/nt/xp

if it does work with other apps, try using "pd -listdev" to see, whether your midi-device is detected properly by pd and which device-id it has. use the one you get with "-midiindev"
