Hi everybody,
I know this has been coverd before but somehow I can't find it.
I'm having a problem that after switching to Pd 0.48.1 on Debian 9.5 I cannot recognize USB MIDI interfaces anymore without restarting Pd. Can anybody tell me how to do this or point me to the relevant information?
I used to simply recall the MIDI dialog and it was there - that's not the case anymore.
Thanks a lot! Ingo

use alsa-midi and some external software (like qjackctl) to manage the connection between the devices and Pd.

Mmmhh,
I really don't want to use jack for this. I simply need to know what I can do so that Pd sees new MIDI interfaces when I reload the the midi dialog after connecting a new USB MIDI device.
The way it was on Pd-exended was that Pd would search for MIDI devices when when you opened the MIDI dialog "OSS-MIDI" while running Pd. Now it doesn't do this anymore ...
Pd actually ignores the Media/MIDI settings. If I set the input to "none" and hit apply it still uses the MIDI input from the startup - even though it shows "none" in the MIDI settings. Please someone tell me that there is a way to do this!
Is there any kind of a command to send to Pd to update the MIDI device list? I really need to stay compatible with my previous software and operating systems. Reloading the patch is not an option.

i didn't propose anything with jack. qjackctl (despite it's name) is a tool that allows to manage
- jack audio connections
- jack midi connections
- alsa midi connections
i was only talking about the last option, which is totally independent of of JACK.
qjcackctl would allow you to magically connect your new devices to Pd once they are plugged in, without having the need to open any dialog.
i don't know about OSS-MIDI. i never use it.

You can also use alsa-midi in pd and "aconnect" to connect your device to pd without using jack. J

Oh, I see.
I'll give it a try and see if it works with OSS-MIDI.
Thanks Ingo

I cannot recognize USB MIDI interfaces anymore without restarting Pd.
just curious: did this actually work before? at least on Windows I've always had to restart Pd when I plug in a new MIDI device, but maybe that's because of portmidi.

yes!

It was working fine on Pd-extended. Once you opened the midi dialog or sent a pd-message with the settings new MIDIinterfaces were there.
I was monitoring the /dev/ folder every 2 or 3 seconds to see if midi1, midi2, midi3 or midi 4 was present or better has changed. If a change happened I sent the message with the MIDI setup to Pd and the new devices were there.
e.g. [pd midi-dialog 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 4 4( meaning open input 1,2,3 and 4 and output 1,2,3 and 4. (1st 4 digits are inputs, 2nd four digits are outputs, then number of midi ins and number of midi outs)
Now this doesn't do anything anymore.
