[PD] no midi input

[Andrew Lyons]

I have been having the same problem - although I'm using the raspbian
buster image so I have pd 0.49.

Unfortunately there is no aconnect-gui in raspbian, and I have found that
aconnect -l finds pd's midi ports only when you start pd with the
-alsamidi -midiindev and -midioutdev flags.

The command syntax to connect the USB midi device to pd using aconnect then
becomes:> aconnect 20:0 128:0

I'm looking to have all this automatically setup on boot so I can run
headless. If anyone knows how to do that please let me know...

Cheers
