ALSA uses /dev/snd/midiC*D* as their raw midi devices. The C* (* = some number) is the device number while D* (* = some number) is the port number. Normally the ALSA driver links its raw devices to the corresponding /dev/midi* automatically (i.e.: /dev/snd/midiC0d0 -> /dev/midi00 \, /dev/snd/midiC0D1 -> /dev/midi01 etc).; #X text 19 411 MIDI objects in Pd (the ones that read and write to MIDI ports) take a MIDI channel as an argument. Channels 1-16 use the first MIDI device \, 17-32 use the second MIDI device and so on. For this to work one must specify which devices Pd is supposed to use: ; #X text 38 478 -midiindev 1 \, 2 -- use devices 1 and 2 for input; #X text 38 493 -midioutdev 1 \, 2 -- use devices 1 and 2 for output ; #X text 38 508 -mididev 1 \, 2 -- use devices 1 and 2 for input and output; #X text 19 526 NOTE (Windows): -listdev command line option lists all available MIDI and audio devices.; #X text 19 558 A couple more useful command line options (related to MIDI):; #X text 39 573 -nomidiin -- do not listen to any midi input; #X text 39 588 -nomidiout -- do not send any midi output; #X text 39 603 -nomidi -- do not use any MIDI; #X text 20 36 MIDI in Pd is handled through the 'raw' midi devices (such as /dev/midi*). Specify which MIDI port Pd is supposed to use through a command line switch when starting Pd \, i.e.:; #X text 19 101 The above will use the first MIDI device for MIDI input (it could be a MIDI controller such as a keyboard \, midi-guitar \, midi knob box \, etc.) and device #2 will be used for outputting the MIDI (re)generated or sent by Pd.; #X text 19 158 To use the same device for MIDI input AND output (e.g. \, a MIDI keyboard which is also a synthesizer) use the following command line switch:; #X text 19 238 NOTE (Linux): Pd counts the MIDI devices starting from one. Usually \, the operating system counts them starting with 0 (zero) so if you want to use /dev/midi00 \, start Pd with "-mididev 1". Always add 1 to the device number.; #X obj 1 621 cnv 15 445 20 empty \$0-pddp.cnv.footer empty 20 12 0 14 -233017 -33289 0; #N canvas 44 246 494 344 META 0; #X text 12 85 HELP_PATCH_AUTHORS Dave Sabine \, May 5 \, 2003 .
