My midi keyboard (Evolution MK-225C) works fine when using the USB connection with my Audigy2 soundblaster card. Someone on the Fedora list is having a problem with using the midi/gameport for his keyboard with an Ensoniq (ens1371) card. I tried the keyboard on my other machine that has an Ensoniq card. First using the USB connection, which works ok, and secondly using the midi cable which connects to the soundcards gameport. Big problems here. Qjackctl shows in it's midi connections, a midi plug followed by 64:ES1371-Rawmidi 0. Connecting this to ZynAddSubFx produces no output. I then installed kmidimon from planetccrma. when I connect kmidimon through qjackctl's midi connections I get 2 instances of. 5003 0:1 ALSA Port subscribed 64:0 130:0 If I then play a few notes on the keyboard, and then switch the keyboard off with it's power switch, I get on kmidimon. 64:0 Note off 1 0 0 So there seems to be some sort of connectivety between the keyboard and the machine by the midi connection. I freely admit that I'm not clued up on midi, but this keyboard has allways worked ok using the USB connection, but is having problems when using the midi cable through the gameport of the Ensoniq card. Any suggestions very welcome. Nigel.
