MIDI and ALSA: no ports at all!
Hi,
I'm trying to get MIDI to work on ALSA, using pmidi or any other player but it won't do. I don't seem to have MIDI support. See: Code:
bart@bart-desktop:~/Desktop$ amidi -l Code:
bart@bart-desktop:~/Desktop$ pmidi -l Code:
bart@bart-desktop:~/Desktop$ cat /proc/asound/cards |
Ok, I at least managed to get rid of the first error. I'm not too sure if it's correct the way I've done though.
I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. The following line was commented out: Code:
#install snd-seq /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-oss ; : ; } Important note though: a few lines above this one is the line: Code:
# Workaround at bug #499695 Now, the result of amidi -l is: Code:
bart@bart-desktop:~/Desktop$ amidi -l |

If you just want to play .mid files, you can use a software synthesizer like Timidity or fluidsynth. |
Thanks, I never realised ALSA doesn't have a software sequencer like Windows does.
