[PD] notein and noteout operation discrepancy

[steve.long at camp.org]

hello everyone! i'm new to the mailing list and relatively new to pd. i
just got pd setup on an old computer for use as a dedicated midi
processor to sit between my drumset and a rack of synths, and i'm seeing
some strange behavior:

i have a simple patch consisting of a [notein 49] connected to a
[noteout], plus a bang and a number box triggered from the notein that
allows me to select different output channels. this allows me to take a
note from my drum module and route it to an arbitraty synth, or at least
that's what i thought. what's happening is output channels 1-16 work as
expected, but 17-32 are sending to port 1 instead of 2, and 33-48 go to
ports 1 instead of 3, etc. sadness.

i was wondering if anyone has seen this sort of problem before, or if
anyone has an idea on how i can remedy it or find a workaround. a search
of the list archives and pd documentation was futile, so here i am
asking for help, please, and thank you!

my system details: i'm running AGNULA's DEMUDI 1.2.1, which comes with
PD 0.38.4. there is no sound card installed, but i have an m-audio
midisport 8x8 usb midi interface, and i can do simple routing between
its ports with aconnect, so i believe it's working properly. i'm
launching PD with 'pd -noaudio -rt -audiobuf 1 -midiindev
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -midioutdev 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8', then i'm manually
connecting the 8 'PureData' midi io ports to the 8 'MidiSport 8x8'
hardware ports with aconnect.
