Discovering Devices

The Hardware Profiles page in the web UI provides drop-downs that populate with the audio and MIDI devices available on the current host. This is the easiest way to discover what hardware mtrack can see.

The Status page shows the devices that are currently configured and connected in the active profile.

You can also use the CLI commands below.

CLI Commands

You can figure out what audio devices mtrack recognizes by running mtrack devices:

$ mtrack devices
Devices:
- UltraLite-mk5 (Channels=22) (Alsa)
- bcm2835 Headphones (Channels=8) (Alsa)

The name prior to the parentheses is the identifier for use by mtrack. So when referring to the first audio device, you would use the string UltraLite-mk5.

You can also figure out what MIDI devices are supported by running mtrack midi-devices:

$ mtrack midi-devices
Devices:
- Midi Through:Midi Through Port-0 14:0 (Input/Output)
- UltraLite-mk5:UltraLite-mk5 MIDI 1 28:0 (Input/Output)

The name prior to the first colon is the identifier for use by mtrack. When referring to the second MIDI device, you would use the string UltraLite-mk5.
