Sequencer + jack + timidity

Post by Peewhy »

Hello,

I have problem to make a sequencer running with timidity, and jack. Timidity is installed and working (playing a midi file with pmidi.

It is launched in server mode:

Code: Select all

~$ timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0&
[1] 4781
~$ Requested buffer size 2048, fragment size 1024
ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 2048, period size 680 bytes
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 131:0 131:1 131:2 131:3
Jack is launched and see the timidity server. When I start Qtractor, I can see this:

I connect QTractor to Timidity:

But still, I get no sound when playing a midi file from Qtractor.

I have tried to use Rosegarden and Muse with no more result.

Any idea about what to do?

I have just tried your command to launch timidity: jack audio output ports are missing.
To create jack audio output ports you need -Oj instead of -Os
