Ok, we see it notices the disconnections, something must be executing something like aconnect -x that disconnects everything. It might be a patchbox module or something else.

What’s the output of:

systemctl status patchbox-init

Also, what’s the output of:

cat /etc/environment

systemctl status patchbox-init:

Run patchbox module deactivate, it should sort this out.

Parallel_Fields · February 22, 2023, 9:33pm

It did fix it. What if I want autorun pd patches headless?

Parallel_Fields · February 25, 2023, 5:34am

Is it possible to autoconnect midi devices to RtMidiIn Client:TouchOSC.

Im trying but I cant get the rule to route the connection. Everything else is working with the touchOSC.

I just need to route manually the devices via aconnect Gui after booting. And I really would like to just create rule for it to be done with Amidiminder.

reading rules from /etc/amidiminder.rules

I wonder if I have wrong rules for the TouchOSC

I just want the Beatstep Out to go to TouchOSC bridge.

Parallel_Fields · February 25, 2023, 6:56pm

I got it working, just had some wrong Rules Sorry for hyperactive forum behavior

It shouldn’t be running aconnect -x on Patchbox OS - could you check the output of these commands:

cd /usr/local/pisound/
git status
