Greetings,
I am at a loss how to make JACK recognize and connect my M-Audio Ozone MIDI keyboard
controller/audio interface. I have searched the archives here, as well as Ubuntu forums.
Is there anywhere else I could look? So far I have been able to use the Ozone as the
soundcard for some applications, including (finally) Rosegarden. I can play a MIDI file
with some synth plugins. I cannot control anything from the Ozone; it is not recognized
by JACK as a MIDI client. I was also getting tons of xruns, but I fiddled with the frame
rate and other parameters, and it seems to be much better now.
I am running Ubuntu Studio (32 bit) on an AMD 64 processor.
The graphics card is a low-end ATI, built in to the cheap ECS mobo. I am at a coffee shop
now and can't get the exact models.
Please tell me what else you need to know.
cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/devices
lsmod | grep snd_seq
lsmod | grep snd-seq
aconnect -o
aconnect -i
Would I be better off with another interface? This one
came with my Pro Tools setup, and I would like to save money by using it in everything.
If I can successfully migrate to Linux for audio, I could get rid of the Ozone (and Pro
Tools! Free at last!), but would like to stick with USB so I can use it with my Apple
laptop (MacBook with Intel Core Duo at 2GHz). That's what I run Pro Tools on, and,
hopefully, Ubuntu Studio at some point.
the device should work OK AFAIK.
My needs are simple.
Thats what everyone thinks :)
Your biggest problem is a shared filesystem. There really isn't a good
choice for what to use as a shared common filesystem between any two of
Windows/Linux/OS X. Making it all three is even harder. If you don't
have a common filesystem, it means you have to partition the disk to
hold different filesystems for different boots, and already the system
is starting to look less ideal.
