if you want to simply reconfigure the audio/midi settings programmatically it might be revealing to listen to the internal pd messages

[receive pd] | [print]

and then change the audio/midi settings.

you can use those messages which will be printed in the console to change your settings when sending messages to a [send pd] that's the principle applied by the mediasettings library hans mentioned.

I just tried quickly and the exact the exact message required was:

[midi-dialog 2056 0 0 0 1.92017e+09 0 0 0 2 2( | [send pd]

where the last two numbers set the number of input and output ports respectively. Other settings probably differ...

Hello again,

Is there a way to specify the number of ALSA MIDI Out ports (in Linux) via the command line or using a command from within Pd?

I can specify this running "pd-extended -alsamidi" and selecting via the GUI: Media-->Midi Settings... - but need to specify the number automatically.

Thanks,

Iain
