[linux-audio-user] USB midi Setup

[Elias Kesh]

Strange. Is the snd-seq-midi module loaded?

[root at Kesh linux]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
snd_virmidi             3968  0 
snd_seq_virmidi         8672  1 snd_virmidi
snd_seq_midi_event      8896  1 snd_seq_virmidi
snd_seq                71480  2 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_event
evdev                  11680  2 
snd_usb_audio          81632  0 
snd_rawmidi            30592  2 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_usb_audio
snd_seq_device         10184  2 snd_seq,snd_rawmidi

Do the UM-2's ports appear in /proc/asound/UM2/midi0?
[root at Kesh linux]# cat /proc/asound/UM2/midi0 
UM-2

Output 0
  Tx bytes     : 0
Output 1 
  Tx bytes     : 0
Input 0
  Rx bytes     : 0
Input 1
  Rx bytes     : 0

In /proc/asound/seq/clients?
[root at Kesh linux]# cat /proc/asound/seq/clients
Client info
  cur  clients : 5
  peak clients : 5
  max  clients : 192

Client   0 : "System" [Kernel]
  Port   0 : "Timer" (Rwe-)
  Port   1 : "Announce" (R-e-)
Client  80 : "Virtual Raw MIDI 2-0" [Kernel]
  Port   0 : "VirMIDI 2-0" (RWeX)
Client  81 : "Virtual Raw MIDI 2-1" [Kernel]
  Port   0 : "VirMIDI 2-1" (RWeX)
Client  82 : "Virtual Raw MIDI 2-2" [Kernel]
  Port   0 : "VirMIDI 2-2" (RWeX)
Client  83 : "Virtual Raw MIDI 2-3" [Kernel]
  Port   0 : "VirMIDI 2-3" (RWeX)

In the output of "aplaymidi -l"?

[root at Kesh linux]# aplaymidi -l
 Port    Client name                      Port name
 80:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 2-0             VirMIDI 2-0
 81:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 2-1             VirMIDI 2-1
 82:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 2-2             VirMIDI 2-2
 83:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 2-3             VirMIDI 2-3


Does this answer any questions ?

Thanks,
Elias
