Very helpful, thanks a lot, Robin!
I bundled all I need to start beatrix in a little script, that I start from
an icon on my KDE-desktop now:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#/bin/sh
# beatrix.sh virtually connects my midi-devices with beatrix and starts it.
PRESETS=/home/me/beatrix-presets.txt
BEA_DIR=/home/me/beatrix
vkeybd --preset $PRESETS &
sleep 1
BEA=$(aconnect -o -l | awk '/Virtual Raw MIDI 1-3/{print $2."0"}')
KBD=$(aseqdump -l | awk '/UM-1SX/{print $1}')
NANOK=$(aseqdump -l | awk '/nanoKONTROL/{print $1}')
VKBD=$(aseqdump -l | awk '/Virtual Keyboard/{print $1}')
aconnect $KBD $BEA
aconnect $NANOK $BEA
aconnect $VKBD $BEA
cd $BEA_DIR
$BEA_DIR/beatrix
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There were two pitfalls I had to avoid. The ID of the Virtual Raw MIDI
interface depends on the connected usb-midi-devices at boottime. Only when
nothing is connected, it has the ID 1-3 as used in the script (else 3-3 for
example). So I boot the eeepc with with my keyboard and nanokontrol unplugged.
When KDE is up, I plug them in. One klick on my script-icon and I'm ready to
play!
The second pitfall were the KDE system-sounds. They can result in '/dev/dsp
busy' when beatrix starts. Now I disabled all system-sounds in
KDE-control-center.
I like your "Jackification" and will try it after I'm familiar with the
current release of beatrix. Hopefully the author of beatrix proofs your
concept. Beatrix is hot!
