I select it, and it gives an extraordinarily unhelpful error message: "Could not start MIDI input". Okk, great, I look around for a preference or settings menu item somewhere which would allow me to configure MIDI input, but, alas, nothing. Same with MIDI output: I want to send it to my ALSA MIDI synths. > > > > > > > > Any ideas?

OK, I have got the settings now as this: http://restivo.org/misc/denemo2.png And I now have this: client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' Connecting To: 15:0 client 128: 'FLUID Synth (8149)' [type=user] 0 'Synth input port (8149:0)' MIDI input works! Very nice. I'd also rather not use the internal fluidsynth, but rather patch the ALSA MIDI output of Denemo into my own synths. Is there a way to simply get it to give me an alsa_seq in and out, and let me patch in my own keyboard and synths, rather than using its internal one? -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
