[linux-audio-user] midi won't play although sound works

[Julien Claassen]

Hi Carlyle!
  Of course loading the .bnk files doesn't work. They are only text-files, at 
least last time I looked.
  You can visit hammersound.net for soundfonts, if the site works again. Or 
take a look at Dave's page, he listed a few pages for soundfonts and other 
sounds:
  http://linux-sound.org
  Besides that try some softsynths (with completely different sounds) or give 
TiMidity another try. Which version do you have? Try timidity -h, this should 
give the programs help again, there should be something about alsasequencer 
devices. I have 2.13, but I think it's been there for a bit longer.
  If you don't have any external midi-keyboards, then your card midi I/O (16 
and 20) are useless at the moment.
  Kindest regards
         Julien
