Re: [LAU] How to activate Midi over Gameport?

Hi! I once had the same setup. I just enable the general MPU401 MIDI driver in ALSA and that was that. I just attached the right cable (gameport to MIDI i/o) and all worked as well as could be expected. With alsa you could try aconnect -li and aconnect -lo to see ALSA sequencer MIDI ports offered by your soundcard. Perhaps they're already there. You could try this to test (having figured out the number of your midi port). aplaymidi -p 16:0 test.mid The 16 would be the port number (client number) gotten from aconnect the :0 says use the first port of that client (which is some kind of standard or default). If you have a MIDI keyboard connected, which can play back MIDI from MIDI-in, you'll see if it works. About rosegarden, I don't know. But I think it still works with ALSA sequencer MIDI system, so no need, to dabble with JACK MIDI right from the start.
