       Hi

    Thanks for the answer, however there's still no luck. Cat gives:

cat /proc/asound/cards 
0 [V8235          ]: VIA8233 - VIA 8235
                     VIA 8235 with CMI9739 at 0xe200, irq 22
1 [UA25           ]: USB-Audio - EDIROL UA-25
                     Roland EDIROL UA-25 at usb-0000:00:10.0-2, full speed

cat /proc/asound/devices
  0: [0- 0]: ctl
 17: [0- 1]: digital audio playback
 25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture
 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback
 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture
  1:       : sequencer
 33:       : timer
 32: [1- 0]: ctl
 48: [1- 0]: digital audio playback
 56: [1- 0]: digital audio capture

	
	I'm guessing that starting pd with -mididev 2 would point it to the sequencer in the device list, but that didn't work either.
	Also JACK fails to recognize the keyboard as well. Before I would just run pd through JACK and everything was fine.

	Any thoughts?
