I tried all the variants that I could think of prefixing an opt, removing the quote etc -- no use So I try calling timidity by hand thus: $ timidity -iA -Oe -s 44100 TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode Opening sequencer port: 129:0 129:1 129:2 129:3 Ok so far Now nted shows 8 midi ports 128:0 128:1 ... 129:0 ... 129:3 None of them work.
