That looks keen, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get pd to talk to my MIDI devices. $ pd -alsa -listdev reading startup file: /home/fugalh/.pdrc input devices: 1. Sound Fusion CS46xx (hardware) 2. Sound Fusion CS46xx (plug-in) 3. Keystation (hardware) 4. Keystation (plug-in) output devices: 1. Sound Fusion CS46xx (hardware) 2. Sound Fusion CS46xx (plug-in) 3. Keystation (hardware) 4. Keystation (plug-in) API number 1 no midi input devices found no midi output devices found couldn't open MIDI input device 0 couldn't open MIDI output device 0 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). So it's seeing my keyboard as an audio device but not a midi device. Any ideas?
