So I rushed to my Fedora box trying to hum a tune into Audacity in Db

to try a virtual keyboard to spot the Db frequency/pitch and was rather
disappointed that Ubuntu was getting all the packaged versions. Bah!
Alright, I compiled one (VMPK) and got jack-keyboard from the repo. The
only problem now is that I have no idea how to start jackd. #jack forum
at freenode isn't helping much. I couldnt even get a sound from ALSA in
VMPK. HELP!
So much for Db and I think we need an active IRC channel

Hi
you can look here for a jack guide:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Musicians_Guide/sect-Musicians_Guide-Using_JACK.html#sect-Musicians_Guide-Install_and_Configure_JACK
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Musicians_Guide/index.html
VMPK is available in fedora "sudo yum install vmpk" but it is only a
MIDI keyboard, you will need to connect its MIDI out to a programs MIDI
input in Jack, and route the Audio outputs of this program to your
system outs.
Alternatively (easier) you could try installing yoshimi or ZynAddSubFx
which both have built in keyboard.
regards,
Brendan
