Question about amidi -l output
Hi,
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
So the Ardour application uses the output of amidi -l to name USB devices. In my case I now have 3 devices all named "Boutique MIDI 1", although they are 3 different types of synth.
I already added the devices to usb-list and system-hwdb so lsusb shows up with correct synth names.
What can I do to make amidi -l show better device names? Where do these names come from? What lib or db should I look at to patch and submit?
I hope someone can help me.
Regards,
Jeroen Baten

You can use udev rules for that. The link below might help you:

Hi,
Not that I want to argue, but if 'amidi -l' currently gives me "Boutique", than shouldn't somewhere in the udev hierarchy exist a string 'Boutique'?
