It's possible that the soundfonts you got off the Internet are not behaving
well. You really need a GM soundfont. I'll try and send you mine offlist, as
the list has a bandwidth limit.
Do you have a webserver that I could upload the soundfont to? I don't and am
not sure if I can send 8MB by e-mail, but I'll try.

Hello Nigel,
Yes it would do, because TiMidity uses it's own GUS patches/soundfonts, but
the midi keyboard is not directly accessing the wavetable synth of the
soundcard.
To just check out the keyboard, you would only need to connect the keyboard to
ZynAddSubFx in the midi connections, and the audio connections are already
made as default for ZynaddSubFx to alsa pcm.
Ok. Does the usb midi keyboard otherwise work.
For example, can you use
it with ZynAddSubFx. You need to just connect the keyboard to ZynAddSubFx
in qjackctl's midi connections if your using Etch or Lenny.
It works, if I connect it the first sequencer port of timidity it
plays beautifully. If you are using KDE, you can use Kmid to check
out if the midi is
working. I've attached a file, if you don't have any midi ones.
The keyboard works with this setup (connected to timidity): aplaymidi -p
65:0 robert_miles_-_children.mid
works with 129:0 (timitidy), dead silence with 16:0, 17:0, 17:1, 17:2
and 17:3.
It almost HAS to be something really stupid. Does the sound font
matter? I've tried both 8mbgmsfx.sf2 (I got that off internet, as I
don't have the sblive cd, and the friend who gave the card to me lost
it) and PC51f.sf2 (also from internet). Is it possible I'm using the
wrong soundfont? asfxload doesn't show any errors, and
/proc/asound/card0/wavetableD1 seems to indicate that the font is
loaded correctly.
Perhaps a mixer issue I'm not seeing? The "Synth" channel is full open.
Thanks for your input,
Hein Zelle
