Hi, as it is defined in Pd's source, on line 98 of s_midi_alsa.c, the "Pure Data" name of Alsa Sequencer Client is fixed. And it is the same for all instance of Pd. As far I know there is no way to change a client name from another client (I tried to do so without success by modifying aconnect).
But maybe it could be a nice feature to be able to choose the Pure Data alsa sequencer client name. For example with a string following the -alsamidi flag and/or in the midi settings dialog box.
