emh Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have a Soundblaster Live card, plus a Korg X5DR synthesizer module that I hook to the sound card's MIDI port. I also hook a MIDI keyboard to the same port. Now, using the sound drivers from http://www.opensound.com , both MIDI input and output via the MIDI port works just fine. But under ALSA, I don't see where I can enable something like this. In the sound settings for Configuration/KDE/Sound/MIDI, there's no option to select an external port for output. I think it's just a setting of a switch in modules.conf that I have to put in, but I don't know what that switch is. Does anybody here know?

zero0w Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Rosegarden works fine under ALSA when my sister connected her SB Audigy with an external keyboard, I don't know about if KDE supports ALSA natively or not. As for external MIDI box, I am not sure. But it's known that the OSS-compatible MIDI mode of ALSA still has some bug need to be fixed (not so in native ALSA MIDI mode). I think I read that somewhere before 0.9.1 stable version was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted April 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 If the MIDI keyboard in works, then I see no reason why going out to a MIDI module wouldn't work, since, in my case, they use the same MIDI port. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
