Re: ALSA ate my MIDI! (Or Something)

["Miguel Morales" <therevoltingx@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Roland PCR-M80 and it works just fine via usb.  Have you tried to use the USB connection instead of the hard midi one?

Just answering my own post to provide further information:

1) I have managed to use the keyboard OK with software on Windows XP
under VMWare.

2) Using aplaymidi, I have been able to send data out of the MIDI out on
the keyboard.

3) Using arecordmidi, nothing seems to be captured.

This suggests that the keyboard is working normally and that something
is amiss with ALSA receiving MIDI data.
