Hi all,
I am trying to get a usb midi foot controller (logidy UMI3) in Pd.
This same controller works flawlessly in a different ubuntu machine (older version), but I cannot get it to work in the latest ubuntu, latest pd, etc.
I have made sure that alsa_seq is running and tried multiple ports.
Anyone have any suggestions on what else to try ??
thanks,
J
hello everyone,
After some research I have found that I can connect a controller through aconnect when pd is already running. This was not the case a couple versions ago (of everything, pd, alsa, and OS; I am in a different computer so I can't tell what those versions are exactly).
Is there any way that one can make these connections through Pd directly?
currently, I have to list all devices with /aconnect -i/, then make a connection with/aconnect 24 129 /where 24 is the sender device and 129 is the software input...
Not sure how this changed, but it seems problematic for automated loading of patches. Any workarounds?
best,
J

unlikely. this should have *always* worked when using Pd's alsamidi backend (and never worked with the (default) OSS-midi).

[aconnect]? i haven't tested it in years, but i see no reason why it shouldn't work any longer...

I think I am not being clear. In previous versions aconnect wasn't a step I had to do at all. I only needed to start pd with the -alsamidi flag.
In the current version, I need to do aconnect separately...

ah i see. the behaviour has changed because users had been complaining consistently (and rightly - and i'm saying that as the person who iirc originally implemented it) about the autoconnect "feature".
see [1] for the discussion that led to the final removal of it.
