Maybe "81:0"? Now I get serious. Fluidsynth creates a new port, when started like this: $ fluidsynth -m alsa_seq /usr/lib/awe/sfbank/8mbgmsfx.sf2 You see it here: $ aconnect -lo client 64: 'Rawmidi 0 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96 MPU-401' [type=kernel] 0 'M Audio Audiophile 24/96 MPU-401' [...] client 128: 'FLUID Synth (10195)' [type=user] 0 'Synth input port (10195)' Then you can aconnect this port to the one you like: $ aconnect 64:0 128:0 $ aconnect -lo client 64: 'Rawmidi 0 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96 MPU-401' [type=kernel] 0 'M Audio Audiophile 24/96 MPU-401' Connecting To: 128:0 [...] client 128: 'FLUID Synth (10195)' [type=user] 0 'Synth input port (10195)' Connected From: 64:0 Now I can play fluid from my keyboard. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
