A typical MIDI expanding service would be the package "timidity-daemon". After installing that, aconnect -l should list both your Steinberg MIDI ports and the timidity-provided ports. aconnect x:y z:t where x:y is the respective Steinberg MIDI port and z:t the respective timidity port taken from aconnect -l, playing the wind controller into the Steinberg should give you sound from your computer. There will be fine points of configuration, probably in /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg . You might also install the fluidsynth sound fonts and configure Timidity to use them. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
