[chuck-users] multiple midi ports

[Stefan Blixt]

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.
