hello!
i am having two weird things happeing in pd 39.2 ext on osx. i have to safe the files many times to be sure that it is really safed. often the next time i start the program an older version is back...the other thing is that each time i switch on te computer start pd and the external sound devices the midi channelnumbers are mostly all different. though it changes between the same 'variations'.

i just found out that if i use midiin and midiparse it shows the correct midi in channels of mydevices. if i use ctlin it shows strange changing numbers. i tried midiformat for midiout but that seems not to work on pd extended for osx intel.
is this a bug in pd, mididriver of osx or the ctlin object?
i makes me a bit nervous because i am life musician and each time i play i need to find out with which numbers i am presented now...
some ideas?

the "new" channelnumbers are something weird like 16,17,18 ,19 and 49,50,51 instead of 1 and 2. what could cause thes midimisunderstanding? maybe on of the controllers got a bit funny inside...i need to check that.maybe it is not a problem in pd...
it is the same thing doesn't matter if linux or osx on the same machine.
what could i use to analyse the the incoming midi?
