Re: ZynAddSubFX with Midi Controller

Found solution here . - Go into Terminal and enter this command: aconnect -lio This will bring up your port numbers.

[Solved] ZynAddSubFX with Midi Controller

Finally got a midi controller and trying to play it using Zynaddsub. Got my M-Audio USB UNO midi cable hooked up with the midisport-firmware installed, but Zynaddsub doesn't play when I hit the keys on my keyboard. Both my channels are set at 1. Little help?

Re: Kguitar sound problem

I take it no one uses Kguitar? lol

Which GuitarPro-Alt app do most here use, TuxGuitar?

Has anyone tried Dguitar? I downloaded the file, but couldn't figure out how to install it.

Re: What's best midi player + GM virtual sounds?

I believe fluid-soundfont-gm is the most well-known free GM soundfont. It can be loaded in qsynth. I did download qsynth too as it was recommended with downloading fluidsynth, but what exactly does it do? Correct, ZynAddSubFX is great, but not General Midi. Can you configure it to do GM, or can it ...

Re: What's best midi player + GM virtual sounds?

I think that Rosegarden + synth plugins (fluidsynth?) is the combo with the most similar functionalities to 'bandstand' (as I can see in youtube). I downloaded the fluidsynth "sound fonts" (as I guess they're called) and they sound great! Just what I'm looking for. I downloaded Rosegarden...

What's best midi player + GM virtual sounds?

Hi, I'm looking for an app that plays midi files and has high-end virtual sounds in general midi (GM) format to use for my band to play extra instruments (strings, sound effects, etc) in the background and for me practicing while I play guitar. I don't want to buy an expensive keyboard or module wit...

Kguitar sound problem

I like Kguitar as a potential Linux replacement for Guitar Pro , but I can't get Kguitar to produce any sound. I installed TuxGuitar also and can get sound out of it (although just from my soundcard and not soundfonts), but I like the look and feel of Kguitar better if I can get the sound to work. C...
