I'd recommend not choosing inputs directly in Pd, but use IAC MIDI busses and then route the hard device to them with something like MIDI Patchbay. I use this all the time, but then again I am not using as many simultaneous interfaces as you are.

Dear list,
I recently stumbled on a problem with the number of available midi interfaces shown under _midi settings_. I am using four different keyboards, three of them connected via USB Midi and one over a ESI M8U Midi interface. I also need 4 internal IAC MIDI Buses. My problem is that the ESI interface has 16 ports that are shown as different devices, and Pd shows only the first 21 available devices, so when the interface is connected I can't select some of the other keyboards as inputs because they are not shown in the drop-down list. I only need the first port of the ESI interface and I can't disable the rest in the audio-midi config, and this is the only interface I have. Would it be possible to extend the drop-down menu to all the devices? I'm using Pd-0.50 on OSX Sierra (10.12).
Cheers, Maxi

Thanks for your answer Dan! I didn't know about the patchbay, I just tried it and it is great, but it doesn't solve my problem. If the ESI Interface is plugged (which of course must be in order to be seen by the patchbay) it is also seen by Pd and still takes space in the drop-down menu, even if I don't use it at all.
