Okay Julien ... looks like a replay of what we did a year or so ago. I'm thinking I'm a complete idiot each time I try midish! > Hello Bob! > So if you just want to record the audio output of your synth it should be > possible with midish. In your midishrc have a line like: > dnew 0 "20:0" rw # your soundcards ALSASEQ number I just installed midish from Ubuntu. No midishrc file created in the install, so I put the one in /usr/share/docs/midish into /etc. Uncompressed it and add the dnew line from above. And ... the test: bob$ midish dnew: no such proc So, let's take out the dnew from the /etc/midishrc file. Now, it runs ... but no play. bob$ midish import "bridge.mid" p press control-C to finish ^C Okay, assuming the port isn't set. Perhaps... bob$ midish devattach 0 "20:0" rw import "bridge.mid" p 20:0: No such file or directory press control-C to finish So, getting somewhere? Now, we'll try smfplay: bob$ smfplay -d 20:0 bridge.mid 20:0: No such file or directory press control-C to finish ^C Again, I have no idea > Then in midish: > import "midifile.mid" # quotes needed! > [start audio recording] > p > [turn to your synth and play] > s > [stop audio recording, done] > But you can also use aplaymidi: > aplaymidi -p 20:0 midifile.mid Oh yes, aplaymidi works just fine. Only it doesn't record :) And arecordmidi is great too, but it doesn't play. > Even simpler. > If you want to record the incoming midi data from your synth, instead of > the audio performance, then you would be better off with midish.
