kaconnect question and enhancement request

kaconnect question and enhancement request

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I'm sorry, but I'm not at all sure who developed kaconnect. I like
this little app quite a bit, however, it won't allow one thing I'd
certainly like - to be able to hook a MIDI input to its corresponding
MIDI output. Why doesn't this work?

   I can hook MidiSport 2x2 In A to Out B, but not to Out A, which I
would really like to be able to do sometimes. Is there a technical
reason that this cannot be done?

   As an enhancement request, I sure would like kaconnect to have the
ability to filter certain MIDI events, like controllers, or key
pressure, etc. I understand that I might be difficult to do this on a
path by path basis, although it would be useful at times. Saving a set
of connections would be cool also.

   Anyway, thanks for this little app that I use every day.

Cheers,
Mark

Takashi-san,
   Thanks. I tried aconnect, and read through the --help stuff, but couldn't
figure out the command to hook together two ports. Could you give an
example? Everything I tried resulted in error messages.

   I also wondered about hooking a single input to multiple outputs, so if
you could show an example of that, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mark

try "man aconnect" :)
i think there are some online documents about this, too.

suppose you having the sequencer ports 64:0 and 64:32.

for connecting between the same input and output, just run like

	% aconnect 64:0 64:0

call aconnect several times,

	% aconnect 64:0 64:0
	% aconnect 64:0 72:0

for removing the connection, use -d option,

	% aconnect -d 64:0 64:0


basically, kaconnect does these things in GUI.
hence, if aconnect doesn't work, likley kaconnect won't work, too.


ciao,

Takashi

Takashi-san,
   Thanks. This works fine. If 64:0 is connected to 64:0 in aconnect,
then kaconnect shows it and will allow it to be disconnected. However
kaconnect will not make the connection itself, so I suppose this is an
oversight in kaconnect.

   Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Mark
