Hi all,
I notice that pd is not MIDI-patchable using kaconnect. Does anyone know what it would take to add this support? I have read that the alsa virmidi driver can be used to get the same effect (MIDI from a sequencer program to pd), but I haven't found any documentation yet on how to actually do this.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks, Julius

iirc (haven't tried this out in ages..) you could do
/sbin/modprobe snd-virmidi presuming you have one soundcard, snd-virmidi will be snd-card-1 (check it with cat /proc/asound/cards )
OR
add alias snd-card-1 snd-virmidi to your modules.conf
then ln -s /dev/snd/midiC1D0 /dev/midi10
and start pd with -midiindev 11 (count starts from 1 with pd)
now kaconnect anything to your first virmidi port

I wrote a decent Howto about this. Search Google for my name and "Sequencer Softsynth Midi Quicktoot/Howto". Basically it's: Yes, you need a virmidi card to connect Pd to the aconnect/ALSA sequencer system.

Ouch, no! You don't need another card, just the virmidi device driver!

But from the point of the ALSA system it's handled like a card, it's even called "card4" or so by default. *Real* cards with real Midi ports are automatically shown in the sequencer subsystem. You don't need virmidi to read from your soundcards input with Pd. But if you want to make virtual connection between software, where one part is not capable of handling the ALSA sequencer directly, you will have to fool it. For that you need a snd-virmidi module driven thinggie. Well, a virtual midi card.
