The default is silent, have you installed the preset sounds and load a 
multi and / or a preset sound? That should get you started

Please consult the minicomputerManual PDF which should clearify all the 
questions. Midi to the minicomputer alsa port is only for programchanges 
while to the minicomputerCPU is for midi notes on channel 1 to 8. OSC 
goes from the gui to the engine for changing the parameters, the OSC 
messages are explained in the manual.

Cheers,

Malte
