<p dir="ltr">Hi Perry,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that out.<br>
In fact I realized that unfortunately killing the shred, or terminating the program is not enough to close the ports. You need to terminate ChucK.<br>
An alternative could be that of using Std.system("chuck midi_<a href="http://config.ck">config.ck</a>"). At this point I could simply print the port names on the terminal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyway, I'll try both and see.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers,<br>

Then I end up with tons of <br />open MIDI ports I'm not actually using.<br /><br />Apart from this, another user case could be a live set where different <br />scripts are launched and each of them wants to talk to a specific MIDI <br />port. Doing so one ends up with a lot of /leftovers/.<br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Mario<br /><br />-- <br />electronic musician, sound artist, creative coder, QA engineer<br /><a href="https://vimeo.com/creativecodingsalerno">https://vimeo.com/creativecodingsalerno</a><br /><a href="http://mbuoninfante.tumblr.com">http://mbuoninfante.tumblr.com</a>/<br /><a href="https://github.com/mariobuoninfante">https://github.com/mariobuoninfante</a><br /><a href="https://bitbucket.org/mariobuoninfante">https://bitbucket.org/mariobuoninfante</a>/<br /><br />-------------- next part --------------<br />An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br />URL: <<a href="http://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/chuck-users/attachments/20200326/75ed2599/attachment-0001.html>">http://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/chuck-users/attachments/20200326/75ed2599/attachment-0001.html></a>;<br /><br />------------------------------<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />chuck-users mailing list<br />chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu<br /><a href="https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users">https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users</a><br /><br /><br />End of chuck-users Digest, Vol 175, Issue 15<br />********************************************<br /></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div>
