that worked, but pd still doesn't refuse to listen to
the midi controller. i got it to work with alsamidi
(pd -alsamidi -mididev 1) and aconnect'ing the ports
pd opens with those of the midi controller - may i
assume that those are always the same (128:0 for pd
and 20:1 for the controller)? one could put this in a
startup script then ...

i tried this (i'm on gentoo, /etc/modules is
/etc/modules/autoload.d/kernel-version here) ... iirc,
these modules get loaded before the kernel alsa
modules, which didn't work in the end. is there a way
to add snd-usb-audio to the drivers alsa loads? i had
a look at /etc/modules.d/alsa , but was reluctant to
mess around there.

well, i'm glad it's only the midi controller :-)

with kind regards,
thoralf.
