[linux-audio-user] midi dump?

[Erik Steffl]

   what program can I use to dump midi in a sort of human readable 
format? I mean in the real time, reading from midi port, I don't mean 
the midi file conversion (even though I guess there's not much difference).

   Here's why I need it, my (off topic) problem (a bonus Q:-): I just 
connected yamaha drum pad (DD-55) to front panel (liveDrive?) of sb live 
platinum. It actually sort of works (I couldn't get it work with older 
versions of alsa) and after loading soundfonts and aconnect 64:0 65:0 I 
can hear the drumpad, but only what it plays itself (demo, songs, 
rhythms), when I hit the pad the sound is VERY soft, I can barely hear 
it (at normal volume I can only barely hear crash cymbal and hi-hat). So 
I'd like to check what is being sent out by the drum pad (whether the 
volume is so low or there's some other problem). Of course, I'd 
appreciate if anybody offered some insights into this problem...

   TIA
