Hey hey,
I have an issue - again with Yoshimi and the commandline MIDI sequencer
Midish. Yoshimi will not receive any notes from Midish, though the connection
is made, as seen by a message on the Yoshimi commandline.
Midish uses the ALSA Sequencer API, but only offers the port when it is
running.
Midish does work fine with LinuxSampler, hardware and setBfree. I don't know
which of the two, Yoshimi or Midish, does something special to prevent them
from working together.
Will, if you'd like to test it, I have seen the midish is available as a
package in Debian and Ubuntu. On Arch it is in AUR.
Here's the simplest test:
bash prompt # rmidish
[within midish]
dnew 0 "name of your keyboard under aconnect -li" ro
dnew 1 "yoshimi" wo
inew keyboard {0 0}
onew yosh {1 0}
tnew test_track
fnew test_filt
fmap {any keyboard} {any yosh}
tsetf test_filt
r
[play notes on your keyboard]
s
[stops recording]
p
[should play the notes back]
s
exit
[press enter twice, if Midish doesn't quit immediately]
Sorry, it's a long list of commands, but you should be able to copy them
verbatim, except for the alsa SEQ name of your input device.
Any idea what might be happening? I can see the connects and disconnects, but
nothing more.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
I had a go at this (for yoshimi) and can confirm the same results.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about Midish, and the only error report it
seems to give is that it can't connect to the alsa port, but doesn't say which
one - even though yoshimi reports it as connected.
Also, it doesn't seem to actually create 'test_track' anywhere that I can
find,
so I don't know what that is supposed to do.
I do know yoshimi works perfectly correctly with aplaymidi and handles all MIDI
messages.
Sorry I can't give more help.
Will.
