Thank you for your honest and to the point answer. That helped to sort out patchage.
When you said it was C++ developed, I immediately knew what to do and solved the problem.
Patchage now works !!
Patchance however wont workfor a lot of users, with the python dependencies.
The problem is sure with patchance being dependent on Python.
What follows is a screenshot with both patchage and patchance on the same server.
Clearly Patchage shows all the midi while patchance refuses.
Patchage needs a newer version of Jack, so wont display the jack routes currently, but is an easy fix and will display the midi so that is ok. I will update Jack later. Easy fix.
Clearly there is nothing wrong with my system and the buck stops with patchance, as patchance does not display midi, while patchage does as shown by the attached image.
From the previous comment that patchance depends on python bindings, clearly shows who the culprit is ....brace for it .... one of the usual suspects from the threesome that destroys linux.
This time it is Python the snake again.
Python is a language that should stick to be used to teach scripting style software development, but should not make it's way out of university.
The same as Pascal used to be used to teach at European Universities long ago.
At least Pascal was a serious strong-typed language that was very useful in mission critical applications and a decent language with excellent compiler and very descriptive debug,
Python on the other hand is a house-that-jack-built with chaotic installers, almost non-existent error reporting and severely divergent and buggy user deployment. It is slow-as-molasses cross-your-fingers-software. Dont rely on it if you are serious about development.
Sorry, but my rants are valid as this proves yet again to be Python. Hours and hours I spent just to please the decrepit snake...
Patchance is quality software, and if the snake did not byte again, I would prefer it by far above patchage, but you should maybe look if you can't at least drop the darn snake. The snake is a garbage sandbox language to be used for training students only. It excels in that, like colorful blocks and alphabet-soup excels for the development of a baby.
Again I have nothing against patchance. You write great software and is a dead honest person. Just your choice of dependencies ...
