I downloaded and compiled beast and beast-alsa. I selected the alsa midi input as one of the alsa virmidi channels, I had some difficulty getting the beast sound engine to agree to start, but I selected playback settings "auto activate". I connected the midi input from the synth to the alsa virmidi, But then when i press a key I get: beast-0.7.1[26163]:BSE:1: ignoring note-on (523.251160Hz) for foreign midi channel1 Any hints??
