Re: [PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian 9.5)
You can use aconnectgui if you don't want to use qjackctl. Also, you can use the device name with aconnect. Here's an excerpt of a script I rote to start Pd on my wearable 10 years ago. The trick is that you need to wait until Pd sets up its MIDI ports before trying to connect to them in a script. - echo "rc_starts_pd: strating pd" pd -rt -nogui -alsa -audiodev 4 -audiobuf 10 -alsamidi $PATCH & # wait for pd to initialize KA=$(aconnect -i -o | grep "Pure Data") while [ "$KA" = "" ] do sleep 1 echo "rc_starts_pd: pd alsamidi not ready" KA=$(aconnect -i -o | grep "Pure Data") done echo "rc_starts_pd: pd alsmidi is ready" # connect the UA-25 midi to Pure Data echo "rc_starts_pd: alsa midi connect 'UA-25' <-> 'Pure Data'" aconnect 'UA-25' 'Pure Data' aconnect 'Pure Data':1 'UA-25':0 - > On Nov 30, 2018, at 4:57 PM, pd-list-requ...@lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 16:47:21 +0100 > From: "Ingo" mailto:i...@miamiwave.com>> > To: "'Jaime Oliver'" <mailto:jaime.oliv...@gmail.com>> > Cc: "'Pd-List'" mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian > 9.5) > Message-ID: <002b01d488c3$fb7c13c0$f2743b40$@miamiwave.com > <mailto:002b01d488c3$fb7c13c0$f2743b40$@miamiwave.com>> > > Thanks, Jamie! > > got it finally to connect or disconnect now. > > I didn't have the correct client and ID numbers. > I'll have to find a way to retrieve the port number of an unknown USB > interface first automatically before I can connect it to Pd automatically. > I couldn't find any way to connect an existing new port without knowing its > number. > > I tried aconnect *:0 128:0 instead of aconnect 24:0 128:0 > but it didn't work. > Obviously havin * become 128 would cause a feedback loop - so it makes sense > not to work. > > I had also installed qjackctl as IOhannes suggested. > This also works.

Pd on macOS uses portmidi for it's backend and portmidi, like portaudio, does not support device hot plugging.

Re: [PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian 9.5)
Thanks, Jamie! got it finally to connect or disconnect now. I didn't have the correct client and ID numbers. I'll have to find a way to retrieve the port number of an unknown USB interface first automatically before I can connect it to Pd automatically. I couldn't find any way to connect an existing new port without knowing its number. I tried aconnect *:0 128:0 instead of aconnect 24:0 128:0 but it didn't work. Obviously havin * become 128 would cause a feedback loop - so it makes sense not to work. I had also installed qjackctl as IOhannes suggested. This also works. Thanks, IOhannes! But I would have to figure out how to connect the ports without the graphical part by command lines. I'll check both options. Aconnect seems to be the way to go for now. Thanks everybody! I'm on my way to have it back to the way it used to be with a few more tweaks. Now I only have to get my write protected OS to boot up which seems to be different on Debian Stretch as compared to my old Ubuntu.

Re: [PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian 9.5)
It was working fine on Pd-extended. Once you opened the midi dialog or sent a pd-message with the settings new MIDIinterfaces were there. I was monitoring the /dev/ folder every 2 or 3 seconds to see if midi1, midi2, midi3 or midi 4 was present or better has changed. If a change happened I sent the message with the MIDI setup to Pd and the new devices were there. e.g. [pd midi-dialog 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 4 4( meaning open input 1,2,3 and 4 and output 1,2,3 and 4. (1st 4 digits are inputs, 2nd four digits are outputs, then number of midi ins and number of midi outs) Now this doesn't do anything anymore.

Re: [PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian 9.5)
Mmmhh, I really don't want to use jack for this. I simply need to know what I can do so that Pd sees new MIDI interfaces when I reload the the midi dialog after connecting a new USB MIDI device. The way it was on Pd-exended was that Pd would search for MIDI devices when when you opened the MIDI dialog "OSS-MIDI" while running Pd. Now it doesn't do this anymore ... Pd actually ignores the Media/MIDI settings. If I set the input to "none" and hit apply it still uses the MIDI input from the startup - even though it shows "none" in the MIDI settings. Please someone tell me that there is a way to do this! Is there any kind of a command to send to Pd to update the MIDI device list? I really need to stay compatible with my previous software and operating systems. Reloading the patch is not an option.

[PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian 9.5)
Hi everybody, I know this has been coverd before but somehow I can't find it. I'm having a problem that after switching to Pd 0.48.1 on Debian 9.5 I cannot recognize USB MIDI interfaces anymore without restarting Pd. Can anybody tell me how to do this or point me to the relevant information? I used to simply recall the MIDI dialog and it was there - that's not the case anymore. Thanks a lot!
