I want to use Muse and Musescore to play midi files, but I can't hear anything on my external midi device (digital piano or my Roland keyboard). For several years I used my midiman usb midisports2x2 with windows and everything worked fine.
I use Ubuntu 8.0.4. 64bits linux. I have installed the package midisport-firmware_1.2+dsfg1-0ubuntu4_all.deb. I am able to start jack via the commandline (jackd -d alsa), but I only see midi thru (via Aconnectgui). I can also play midi filles with timidity. But then the midi file is played on my sound card and not via an external midi device.
I can't start jack via Jack control. Why do I not see a midi in and a midi out?
I think, if I see a midi in and a midi out, the problem is solved, because under Windows I would configure my notation program or sequencer in such a way that it would use the external midiman midi in and the external midiman out.
Please help.
Muse and Musecore does not work with midiman

Welcom on the forum.
I think this is a tuning and configuration question (mod?)
I have not much experience with midi and external devices, but it seems to me that you have to be able to run qjackctl first. Pleas take a look at our wiki. There is an explanation to set up qjackctl.

Do you use Ubuntu studio?

Please help.
but after loading correct firmware you must see the device in qjackctl.
in the meantime take a look here:

you must load the firmware with fxload, and then check the log for messages.
