I had, again, the same problem (it turns out now, because i have only 1 midi device so I didn't need know...). pd uses oss midi, it's not yet alsa compatible. so, in my setup (and it looks like yours, too) I have /dev/midi02 which is the same as /proc/asound/dev/midiC2D0. However, my /dev/midi03 did not act as /proc/asound/dev/midiC2D1 which, logocally, it should. So I did ln -s -f /proc/asound/dev/midiC2D1 /dev/midi03 and now I can use both MIDI ports on the midisport. I guess this is not a nice hack but it works for me :) Now, concerning pd. [guess this should go on the pd-list :)] in pd you have to explicitly specify the midi ports you use. SO with the above setup I run 'pd -mididev 3 4' . This way, when sending out midi messages channels 1-16 send out on port 1, channels 17-32 send on port 2. The same with the objects that receive midi.
