hi
I successfully compiled and installed rosegarden sequencing software thanks to your help.
Now I'm trying to use it but I'm not confident about midi port situation and my keyboard connected to game port seems not to be existing. Rosegarden says:

When I attempt to record, the program goes but not seamlessly and when I stop it crashes:

Can anyone help me?
thanks in advance

Hello,

Did you set the midi port in Rosegarden? It doesn't use port 64 or any port one would use a midi device on by default, at least not for me. I had to go to the 'Configure Midi Devices' screen and select them.

I hope that this helps.

i never used rosegarden but wonder why jack isn't running
anyway
there is a cool utility "pmidi"
pmidi -l
will show you available midi ports
soundcard gameport will need a module loaded snd_mpu401_uart at boot

what kind of soundcard are you using

Hello,

If Jack is not installed, then it shows as Jack not running. If Jack is installed and hasn't been initialized, or been shutdown, then it show as Jack not running. But it does not require Jack in order to run. Rosegarden is funny that way (and in alot of other ways).

hi
snd_mpu401_uart
where can I get it?
which atcions to load it at boot?
thanks in advance

MPU401 module is a part of alsa
just put
snd-seq-midi (if its not there) and
snd-mpu401-uart
at the bottom of the list of sound modules to load at boot

you also need the input I/O drivers for the gameport
if that module in not "builtin" it is called "gameport"
plus there is a specific module for your cards gameport like "emu10k1-gp"
for soundblaster

you might want to show us "lsmod"
and again tell us what kind of soundcard

Hi, I've got a problem on Mandriva 10.2 with midi, I also use Rosegarden, when I try to play a midi file or play one I've made it plays but no sound comes out. I've selected the midi device but it still won't work. I'd been told to use TiMidity++ in the past, it's all right but I still would prefer to use Rosegarden. I also tried Kmid but that did the same, no sound! I tried going into the configuration for the sound system and using a midi mapper that came with Kmid. But hey presto, still didn't work! I don't know what to do.

Thanks

I do not know my sound card, it is in the mother board.
I do not know what file to edit to load the modules at boot, what is its name and path?
below is lsmod output
thanks in advance

Have you found a solution to your problem angelo? My problem might be the same so I'm curious.

sorry
I gave up very soon.
