> Have a look at the amidi and/or aseqdump programs. OK, I looked at the program, and although I'm not too sure how it works, I came across what may be a bad omen: listing devices (amidi -l) doesn't respond with any devices. Also, $ amidi -S 12 responds with ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:231:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiCODO failed: No such device cannot open port "default": No such device Kevin
