Correction to pervious post: when I talk about audio, I mean MIDI.

I have been able to connect to the same device in the past, and send messages from two ChucK shreds to one MIDI thing. Have you tried if it works even if it just shows up as one device in Jack?

What you call "port" I usually call "device". A device is either Jack, or an audio interface or some other sound thing. You see these listed when you run chuck --probe, along with their respective device number, which is what you give to min.open(<number>).

You probably know this, but don't confuse these with MIDI channels, which are 16 to a device (or port) and are specified inside each MIDI message that you send.

That's what I thought too, as it seemed logical. but it doesn't work.
Let's say I don't have any alsa-midi apps running. in qjackctl, I only
have "Midi Through" (in and out)

% chuck-jack test.ck:0

this will create a new MidiIn and connect it to "Midi Through (out)".

% chuck-jack test.ck:1

this won't work, with this message :

> [chuck]: MidiIn: couldn't open MIDI port 1...

my conclusion: the port parameter to the MidiIn.open() function is not
the number of the port you open, but the port number of the source or
the target to which it is supposed to be connected.

... which isn't that useful, in my opinion.
