Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Keyboard is seen but won't connect solved (I think!)

I've had a similar issue some time ago (trying to use midi in Pure Data) and my workaround was to make the connections through Patchage. It just worked, don't ask me why, and I've given it no thought ever since. But I think it would be nice to post the output and see if there is anything to be f
