Hello everyone,

I just purchased a Ground Control Pro, a midi foot pedal, from DMC. I was hoping to use it to switch between my patches in Puredata. However when I plug it in, using the factory settings=>to my Uno midi interface=>powerbook g4. I don't get any midi signals in the Test Patch in PD. I have selected the midi interface in the PD midi settings, I have also created a external in Audio|Midi OSX utility. If I switch out the GCP with my midi keyboard, PD gets the signals fine.

I am getting midi signals to the Audio/midi OSX utility because when I do a sound test in the utility i get sound response on the "\/" arrow of the midi interface(the one viewable in the patchable section of the utility)

If anyone has had any experience with the GCpro and setting it up with PD I would much apreciate some direction.

Just for you knowledge, I have tried this setup with the OSX midi utility open while PD was open(I heard that I should try that)....no luck.

I am using the PD extended 39.2 test 7, version...I have also tried it with test 5

did you try [pgmin] ? it's not a part of the test audio and midi bit, and i have a feeling that a footpedal is sending program change messages.

hey that might be it! The manual says that the foot controller sends program changes...Im a noob when i comes to midi routing...thanks for the direction. This forum is quite useful, Ill try to add my two cents whenever possible.

yep works great, thank you very much, i hadnt seen that control object yet.
