Remove unused midi through ports

Post by magicalex »

I think this has been asked before, but I searched to no avail. Is there any way to hide/remove the midi through ports from patchage/carla/other jack patchbays? I never use them, don't think I need them, and they just get in the way.

Not 100% sure as I'm not in front of my linux box, but last I remember midi through ports are created by the module snd-seq-dummy which can be controlled by passing module options:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd-seq-dummy ports=4
I'd either try to set it to "0" or maybe completely unload the module (it's weird that you have so many btw).

To make the change persistent, use the alsa conf files:

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
