Thank you for your reply, i just discovered this -listdev by looking at the help page. <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Pierre.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/23 Miller Puckette <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:msp@ucsd.edu" target="_blank">msp@ucsd.edu</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">"audiodev" and other device selecting options (MIDI for example) count the<br>
devicesstarting at 1 (probably because the first OS I ran Pd on did it<br>
that way but I don't even remember now). invoke "pd -listdev' to see what<br>
devices Pd actually thinks it can access and how it numbers them.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
