I installed Agnula this weekend and really like how

working so far. I have a little problem though. I have a MIDI
keyboard connected to my computer (unfortunately I only have onboard
sound right now) that I've used before under windows. I'm sure it will
work; what I'm looking for is a simple test to see if it is working or
not. I fooled around with some of the MIDI programs but with some of
them it's to tell if I'm just not using it properly or if there is no
MIDI device
aadebug will provide most of the necessary information. It's a bit verbose,
but many of us are used to reading this format and may be able to quickly
diagnose your problem from the output.
A simple test would be to launch qjackctl and look at the connect panel's MIDI
tab - if you don't see anything there, then MIDI isn't working. You should
already have:
snd-seq-midi
as the first entry in /etc/modules (?). In the past I've had to add:
snd-mpu401-uart
to that list in order to get it working. Check what your soundcard uses.
