Re: Finding Zorin midisynth (Linux newbie)

> How are you playing your midi files?

If I click on a midi file it is played by the ' Totem Movie Player '
Supposedly the distro is closely related to the latest Ubuntu.
Thanks for the links, I'll look them over ... :)

Finding Zorin midisynth (Linux newbie)

I have installed the Zorin distro.
I know it has a midisynth because it plays midi files.
My purpose is to write raw midi to the synth as if it were a mpu-401 port.
I cannot find out even what synth is used, let alone how to use it.
Any help appreciated .........

Re: (newb@linux) setting up alsa for raw midi

O.K. Thanks for your time !
I like TCL because it's so small,
but I may follow your advice
if I can't get this going.
Plus I'm going to get a SB16 or ?
That should simplify things
somewhat.........

No other Basic (AFAIK) since the Amiga has this comprehensive

Re: (newb@linux) setting up alsa for raw midi

I don't know what you mean by " BASIC 'emulator' " ? I plan on using SmallBasic and trying to call the amidi. I have managed (using BBCBasic and Wine with OSS) to get sounds but no Midi. Does OSS do Midi ? Timidity can't be the midi-port ? I may get a SB16 anyways to simplify things...... ...

Re: (newb@linux) setting up alsa for raw midi

We digress ;) Tiny Core shouldn't be the issue, it's pretty much up to date. Did you try the loading the snd-seq-dummy module with sudo modprobe snd-seq-dummy ports=4 ? And what kind of BASIC emulator are you using? And what's the output of aplay -l ? tc@box:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardwa...

Re: (newb@linux) setting up alsa for raw midi

That depends. In general no, but there are distros that include specific patches (like Tango Studio). Why the question? In this order : If I $ alsamixer I read soundcard and even chip # If I do $ sudo alsaconf I can't locate my soundcard If I $ alsamixer I read no soundcard I can't beleive such a p...

Re: (newb@linux) setting up alsa for raw midi

Is it possible for the alsa on one distro to be differant than on another
(assuming the same (alsa) version) ?

(newb@linux) setting up alsa for raw midi

I want to be able to send raw midi from my programs written in BASIC
to Timidity and out to the soundcard (Intel HDA(on mini-itx MB))
Alsa seems right BUT :

Code: Select all

$ amidi -l
Dir Device     Name
cannot determine device number: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Any insights greatly appriciated ............
