Hello again! I though about my MIDI problem again and I concluded that the only mistake can be my alsa version. Nothing else could hang up the system, right ? Well, then I'd like to know howto use MIDI via the OSS-layer, because alsa-0.9.7 ( current version) seems to need some "magic" to get started and I am MUCH impatient right now ;)))) Any tips, links or something interesting where I could start with ? Howto say OSS that there is a MIDI-keyboard ? ANY applications uses MIDI-IN signals via OSS ? greez, Sascha Retzki __________________________________________________ Verpassen Sie keine eBay-Auktion und bieten Sie bequem und schnell über das Telefon mit http://www.telefonbieten.de Ihre eMails auf dem Handy lesen - ohne Zeitverlust - 24h/Tag eMail, FAX, SMS, VoiceMail mit http://www.directbox.com
