I am writing a HOWTO for the benefit of knoppix users who want to utilize rosegarden21 which is included on the knoppix LiveCD. Since this is for the LiveCD users, upgrading to rosegarden4 is not an option. I figured out how to get /dev/sequencer working, now sndstat tells me my first device is "MPU-401 0.0 Midi interface #1" and I am able to get rosegarden to output midi. However, I'm unable to get rosegarden21 to record any midi notes. On my midi setup screen, it lists the device as /dev/sequencer, and the record device (which I cant modify) says (null device), then if I try to record and check again, the record device says "MPU-401 0.0 Midi interface #1" but no note events got recorded into the track. I know most everybody's moved away from OSS to ALSA but does anybody remember how to test the midi input under OSS? I can't tell if my /dev/midi is working like my /dev/sequencer is. BTW I notice the notes I play on my midi keyboard do trigger the module connected to the soundcard's midi out even with no application running. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
