Where the mini simply becomes an OSC and MIDI processor. But it will require Pd to start up with a selected input and output port. It does not appear to do that. The Tcl/Tk interface does not store the last known configuration, forcing you to select the in/out manually each time. I found a set of command line options, such as -miniindev -midioutdev. i tried them along the lines of ./Pd-extended -midioutdev 'midiiac' or -midioutdev 'MidiPipe Input 1' but no luck. The options appear to befavoring Linux and a device such as /dev/midi.<br><br><br>Is there a was to have a port configured at startup on the OS X version?
