Hi List,

Following problem i have with midi and pd.

starting pd i get following midi information:

device -1: tried /dev/midi-01 READ/WRITE; returned -1
device -1: tried /dev/midi-1 READ/WRITE; returned -1
device -1: tried /dev/midi-01 READONLY; returned -1
device -1: tried /dev/midi-1 READONLY; returned -1
couldn't open MIDI input device -1
device -1: tried /dev/midi-01 WRITEONLY; returned -1
device -1: tried /dev/midi-1 WRITEONLY; returned -1
couldn't open MIDI output device -1
opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s).

doing cat /proc/asound/cards i get:

0 [Digi9652       ]: RME9652 - RME Digi9652
                      RME Digi9652 at 0xe0000000, irq 9
1 [VirMIDI        ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI
                      Virtual MIDI Card 1

with "aconnect -i" i get:
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]
     0 'VirMIDI 1-2     '
client 75: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 1-3' [type=kernel]
     0 'VirMIDI 1-3     '

So the drivers seem to be ok.

But how can i tell pd the aktiv midi Device ?

cat /dev/midi01

is the only device that is aktiv.

Thanks for any help.
