Hello!

I connected my USB MAudio Midisport 2x2 and installed the proper driver. It is soundcard 3.
/proc/asound/cards:

0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 at 0xf4fff800, irq 7
1 [VirMIDI ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI
Virtual MIDI Card 1
2 [Modem ]: ICH - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem at 0xb400, irq 7
3 [M2x2 ]: USB-Audio - MidiSport 2x2
M-Audio MidiSport 2x2 at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed


The Ouptup of: aconnect -io:

client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
0 'Timer '
1 'Announce '
client 72: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 1-0' [type=kernel]
0 'VirMIDI 1-0 '
client 73: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 1-1' [type=kernel]
0 'VirMIDI 1-1 '
client 74: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 1-2' [type=kernel]

client 75: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 1-3' [type=kernel]

client 88: 'MidiSport 2x2 - Rawmidi 3' [type=kernel]
0 'MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 1'
1 'MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 2'

How can I find out what midiindev I have to use?

Thank you a lot.

if you add this line :
-listdev %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

to your startup pd file (.pdrc or pd.bat or pd.command), you will see all your devices.

after you add -middindev 4, if your midi device is 4.

If it doesn't appear with this command line, it's not recognized ...

Is it help you ?

Hi!

Please interrupt me when I'm wrong.
Normally PD uses OSS Midi. ALSA maps the ALSA mididevices to the OSS devices. It seams that this doesn't really work: If I run:

pd -listdev

I get:

input devices:
1. OSS device #1
output devices:
1. OSS device #1
API number 2

no midi input devices found
no midi output devices found
Opened Alsa Client 128 in:1 out:1

How do I have to interpret the putput?


Thanks you so far.
