Yes, that's what I am using until now as well, but I would like to avoid qjackctl's auto-connect in order to keep my midi connection scheme independent, on a per-patch basis, within the startup shell script, but without spawning a second (aconnect) process after launching Pd. But I think I remember Miller once explained on this list why including aconnect's functionality within Pd itself was somehow difficult or not advisable. thanks, P _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
