In case
anyone's interested, Rosegarden is a sequencer app that
uses the ALSA
MIDI sequencer API. What I'm trying to do is load a the virmidi
device, and
then aconnect 72:0 73:0 for example. Then I set up the record device in
Rosegarden to record from 73:0, and set up a play track that
plays on 72:0.
Thus when I record, I would expect that events get recorded onto
the record
track, but it doesn't happen. I also can't record events to that
track if I
play them from PD, using the OSS compatilibilty interface,
through a device
that is symlinked to 72:0.
Larry,
I'll ask the only question I know to ask from when I was playing with
Rosegarden. As I remember the app, on the configuration page you have to
choose which MIDI interface you're going to record from. It would play to
all 4 of my MIDI ports, but it would only record from the one that was
chosen on this configuration tab.
Yes, that's ok, and in fact I hacked the sources to hardwire every place I
could see that the record device and port number was referenced.
Maybe I should see if it's easy enough to build Muse and see if that works
(which reportedly it does). But then, Muse I think uses raw MIDI ports and
not the sequencer API, so if it does work, I'm not sure how much I learn.
