Hi Javier,

What I do is make a little shell script to make the connection.
the command for connecting my uc33 to pd is something like:
aconnect 128:0 24:0
To see the connections you have just do : aconnect -lio.
Add the startup option -alsamidi in .pdsettings or .pdrc to start pd 
with alsa midi.
To be on the safe side, I put a few seconds delay between starting pd 
and connecting the alsa midi ports.

hope this helps,
Tim
