thinhla Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I follow these thread to set up MIDI playable computer https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=22604 and http://www.mandrivaclub.com/article.php?sid=979 In step one: I used harddrake to select emu10k1 as the driver for the card. Step 2: find/get the soundfond.sf2 online from Trachtman.net Step 3: Use the sfxload /path/tomysoundfont.sf2 returns /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory What does this mean? Does this meant that I have no sequencer installed? Moved from 'software' to 'Hardware' - Artificial Intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinhla Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) Anyway, I changed back to snd-emu10k1 as the driver of my soundcard since it's the ALSA driver. What I selected before in my first post turned out to be that I am using OSS driver. Then based on the information on this page http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1 , I inserted couple of paramaters for my soundcard module configuration as folowing: extin: 0x0003 extout: 0x1f03 seq_port: 4 max_synth_voices: 64 mx_buffer_size: 128 As root, I type these lines in ternimal. Copy from http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-30963.html sudo modprobe snd_seq_midisudo modprobe snd_emux_synth sudo modprobe snd_emu10k1_synth Honestly, I don't know what above lines means. If someone cares to explain, I am glad to hear. Then I continue the tips and trick using asfxload command to load the soundfont into memory. $ asfxload /opt/8MBGMSFX.SF2 It just works perfectly.

thinhla Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I am running into the problem that I need some help to basically asfxload soundfont automatically every reboot. Everytime I restart the computer, I have to type manually asfxload soundfont.sf2 in the terminal so that Kmid can play midi file. Otherwise, it just won't play (can't hear sound) I have tried to put following lines asfxload -i asfxload soundfont.sf2 into ~/.bash_profile as instructed in one of the thread above as well as /etc/profile file but these just don't do well and seem not to load it automatically. I still have to type it in manually in the terminal. I keep my soundfont.sf2 in /usr/share/sounds/sf2 folder so that asfxload will automatically look into that directory. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I have tried to put following lines asfxload -i asfxload soundfont.sf2 ...... I keep my soundfont.sf2 in /usr/share/sounds/sf2 folder so that asfxload will automatically look into that directory. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe it doesn't look into that directory. You may want to use a full path when loading the soundfont, like this: asfxload /usr/share/sounds/sf2/soundfont.sf2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
