Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me remove an irritating
behaviour of pure data which I've noticed lately. When running
qjackctl, and selecting 'alsa midi' in pd to initialize its
it connects its output to all other midi inputs, and its input to all
other midi outputs (including through-midi on both sides, meaning it
is essentially sending midi to itself, as well as everything else.)
This is mildly irritating during normal usage, but is now becoming
outright unmanageable, as I am currently trying to write some scripts
to automatically set up my audio environment for live performance
(including midi and jack audio connections).
Can anyone suggest a way to supress this behaviour? Thanks.
n.b. Cross-posted this because I believe the subject concerns both
lists.
Hi, I wouldn't know how to configure pd to not do this, however a dirty
hack could be to use aj-snapshot to restore connections; you'd call it
as last line of your script (maybe preeceded by a "sleep 3" to wait
for all applications to have properly started) with the option (I don't
remember which) to make it first disconnect all connections - i.e. it
first disconnects everything, then makes only the connections you say
him so (by passing him a file).
aj-snapshot is really neat and manages jack audio, midi and alsa midi
connections.
HTH,
