Midi property, with midi ports having space in the name

Community Usage questions

Hi Emmanuel,

When creating midi ports in Mac those have names like "IAC name" meaning there is a space in the name
what is the right way to build the midi property in the server settings to contain also this space?
The only solution we found out now is to use the midi port number instead as listed in the "list midi devices" but this is annoying since they keep on changing

Thanks for the help
Marco

You can put quotes around the device declaration to preserve spaces:
"port_name:IAC name, IAC name"

Just to be clear, each device declaration containing spaces should be enquoted individually, not the whole midi config string:

"port_name:IAC name, IAC name" "port_name2:IAC name2, IAC name2"

Instead of

"port_name:IAC name, IAC name port_name2:IAC name2, IAC name2"
