USB midi input device ?

linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – I just bought an M-Audio Keystation 49e off of craigslist and I'm at a bit of a loss on where to start to use it as an input device for muse or rosegarden. Distro: Debian Lenny Kernel: 2.6.26-2-686 Laptop: Compaq V5305WM Everything seems setup, but I'm at a loss on how to use it in the applications. It doesn't have any sound synthesis abilities on the keyboard, it's just an input device. Without the keyboard I usually go this route: jackd -R -d alsa & timidity -Oj -iA & rosegarden And midi events (HowTos)

How to setup midi input? 40 weeks 1 day ago

I have Ubuntu 12.04 and want to setup a M-Audio Axiom 49.

I have tried to read up on jackd1 / jackdmp /jackd2 / qjackctl and whatnot, but havent gotten any sound from the keyboard yet.

A long time ago i managed to get sound from it using rosegarden and qjackctl, but not anymore.

I have timidity installed and can play midi audio with it.

In rosegarden there are no available midi input devices w

fc12 and midi 3 years 13 weeks ago

I have an intel duo core mb with intel on board sound and an ati 4350 video card - which fc12 considers another audio card. Check System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Prefereences output tab to be sure the correct output device is selected. It changed randomly with the last yum kernel update.

Hi all, I've just installed the latest version of ubuntustudio (12.04) and tried it.

I have a Korg Nanokey, and I'd like to make it produce sound in ubuntu. I've read that means I should be using Rosegarden, and that Rosegarden uses JACK, but does not install it. (Although checking out Ubuntu Software Center, apparently some components of JACK are installed by default?)

I understand there can be a lot of work setting up JACK without it fighting the default sound server.

Hi,

I have a yamaha p-85 (which I love, btw) and I was wondering what my options where for plugging it into the computer, probably to use rosegarden.

MUSE, Rosegarden, etc no sound 19 weeks 5 days ago

This is silly. Absolutely silly.

I can play music thro audacity, musescore, rhythmbox. But I get no sound from Rosegarden or Muse.

OK, I tried some mutation of jackd, timidity. It does not work. Everytime I install a ubuntu on a new system, I forget what I did to get alsa to work.

Come on people, when I run a sound editing software on Windows, they simply start working.

In the past (before Crunchbang used Pulseaudio) I had managed to plug my Midi keyboard into USB, and use qsynth and rosegarden to just play piano (not even record).  More recently I can't for the life of me get the soundfonts loaded into qsynth to appear in rosegarden.  I'm sure it's settings related but I'm a little out of my league.  If anyone has accomplished

External MIDI - does not work 3 years 15 weeks ago

Hi, been trying this for hours now with no success. I am trying to hook up an external MIDI keyboard to Ubuntu (Studio) with no sucess. I can play MIDI files but not get the s/w to reguster any events from the MIDI keyboard. I have a soundblaster LIve! with front panel and am usng the MIDI in on this, with a ROland PC-300 kybd.

Hey all,

I need some help understanding how JACK, ALSA, and MIDI interact. Specifically, I want to understand why I'm having so much trouble routing MIDI traffic between different devices and programs.

Even more specifically: I have an ancient MIDI keyboard. Well, it's sort of a MIDI keyboard.
