With the Oasys connected to the Jomox, the wrong notes are being played as explained but it produces sound. See my shell output below with the Oasys connected to the midisport: /root> jackd -d alsa & jackd 0.116.2 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames (21.3 ms), buffer = 2 periods ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit integer little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for capture [3] 24613 [dhcppc0(root)] /root> ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 32bit integer little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for playback [dhcppc0(root)] /root> arecordmidi -l Port Client name Port name 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 16:0 M Audio Audiophile 24/96 M Audio Audiophile 24/96 MIDI 24:0 MidiSport 2x2 MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 1 24:1 MidiSport 2x2 MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 2 [dhcppc0(root)] /root> arecordmidi --port 24:0 oasys.mid Doing "ls -l oasys.mid" from another window shows oasys.mid as zero bytes. "arecordmidi --port 24:1 oasys.mid" doesn't work either, though I believe 24:0 is correct. I tried opening Qsynth to see if it could receive sound, but I get this error even though, as shown above, jack is connected: 15:29:52.606 Qsynth1: Failed to create the audio driver (jack). Cannot continue without it. fluidsynth: error: Jack server not running? I tried psycosynth but its not obvious to me how it accepts midi in.
