Description

os: linux P3 UX/interaction

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

Edit > Preferences > Audio/MIDI.
Try selecting a MIDI input for an attached Arturia keyboard.
Fail to figure out which device/port of the many that the MIDI keyboard exposes you need.

Supporting files, videos and screenshots

That's really unhelpful. Perhaps you should list port names rather than devices:

$ aseqdump -l | grep Minilab
 20:0    Minilab3                         Minilab3 Minilab3 MIDI
 20:1    Minilab3                         Minilab3 Minilab3 DIN THRU
 20:2    Minilab3                         Minilab3 Minilab3 MCU/HUI
 20:3    Minilab3                         Minilab3 Minilab3 ALV
