[linux-audio-user] Newbie Linux user Struggling with MIDI

[PhilJackson]

Lee,

I am coming from a Windows environement where MIDI  and such just 
"works" .    The screen capture  was just doing    the aconnect from the 
command window with no other  app running.            Ultimately  I'd 
like to be running some algo software like KeyKit generating the MIDI 
and directing it to the soundcanvas, or using some utlility like pmidi 
to play an existing midi file through the soundcanvas.

Joystick port - at this point I am unsure  of most anything.  In this 
machine's previous life as a Win ME machine it did work, though with a 
different soundcard. 

thanks,

Phil J.
