That's a big problem.

Only reason I mentioned Ethernet is that there are analog musical
instruments around already that can transmit their audio via Ethernet
(instead of analog audio cables).

I suspect that MIDI won't be budged. It is a standard in the music
world, and I doubt that many musicians care about it's limitations. They
may not even be aware of them. MIDI certainly keeps time in a lot finer
increments than I'm able to play - that's why sequencer programs have
quantization functions!

josep, thanks a lot, it worked that way!
i ll cc this message to LAU, in case someone else has the same problem.
and last but not least: congrats for the new release!!
cheers,

a2jmidid is daemon for exposing legacy ALSA sequencer applications in
JACK MIDI system. It is based on jack-alsamidi-0.5 (jackd alsa seq midi
backend) by Dmitry Baikov. The main purpose is to ease usage of legacy,
not JACK-ified apps, in JACK MIDI enabled systems.
It is tested, and works, here, with current SVN jack. ATM it may or may
not work with other variants.
Planned features/improvements:
* One JACK client per ALSA sequencer client
* Improved build system (autotools) and support (better handling) for
other JACK variants (older MIDI API variants, jackdmp)
* More control on what ports to bridge (currently bridging is fixed to
non-hardware ports).
* Real daemonization with log file, init.d script, etc.
If someone wants to contribute please, contact me, or send patches, or
request inclusion (Gna! a2jmidid project). As usual, packagers are more
than welcome too.

Hi ...
I recorded a small demo ... small improvisations with some horgand sounds ....
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/horgand/Horgand_demo.ogg
Comments about the sound will be appreciated ....

Scheme has global variables.
As per /usr/inlcude/jack/midiport from Debian Sid, I had to add nframes
arguments to several function calls. Fairly simple since info->nframes is
always avaible.
So if one gets compilation errors over number of arguments, this is the very
simple fix. Had to do this on the orginal jack-alsamidi as well.

David and Andre,
Try www.paia.com . You have to put the kit together yourself, but it's under US$300.
These folks made analog synth kits in the '70's.

Hi
I'm looking for something that acts like ardour, just without the
recording capability :-) A mixer that'll connect jack clients clients
and have buildin ladspa support. Something that'll allow me to save a
setup where a couple of softsynths are routed through a mixer (levels
saved) and some have a littel ladspa applied to them...
Looked at jack_mixer, but it doesn't seem to have neither save
functionality or ladspa support...

Hi,
I got an Edirol FA-101 and seems to be working fine with Planet CCRMA/Fedora
7. The only problem I found is that it seems the output level is too high. I
have a pair of Adam A7 monitors plugged to it and I have to set their levels
to -30db, and even when I set them to the minimum (-60db) I can still hear
something! Is this related to the frebob driver? Is there a way to lower the
volume in the outputs?
Thanks!
Hector
