[PD] time travelling with AKM320 and Pd

[Miller Puckette]

So... last time I used 'alsa midi' I think It worked to start up Pd with
-alsamidi, then use aconnect to make Pd's input listen to whatever source
aconnect will allow it to be connected to.

But that was years ago... I'm happy to say I don't have to use MIDI very
frequently.

cheers
Miller
