--- Comment #1 from Timothy Beyer <beyert at cs.ucr.edu> ---
Note that I was able to test all of these MIDI devices at once, using a few USB
MIDI interfaces.  Since it was so many devices that I didn't have enough USB
ports or USB MIDI interfaces for each device individually, mostly for older
devices lacking a USB port, I used a Kenton MERGE-8 which in turn was
associated with a single USB MIDI device to verify if it handled several
devices on one UMIDI device correctly, which also works.

As far as I can tell, PureData should also work correctly in the much more
common case of lacking any MIDI devices.  It currently doesn't detect devices
by their name (but rather by number, which could be a bit more intuitive),
which is a limitation that I intend to address at some point, but as long as it
is plugged in before starting pd, then it should be correctly detected.

I have also experimented with midithru devices created by midicat (part of
audio/sndio), so that works in audio/pd as well.
