Hi
I need to do backup of some hardware synths on my arch system. I first
tried simplesysexxer, but it doesn't seem to receive anything (actually
the very first time I tried, "something" happened, but since then it's
been dead). So I looked at amidi, but "amidi -l" fails like this:
atte@vestbjerg:~$ amidi -l
Dir Device Name
cannot determine device number: Inappropriate ioctl for device
It seems that there might be something wrong on my system, or?
I should note that my physical midiin is located on my edirol (FA66)
firewire audio interface, and I use a2jmidid to bridge between alsa-midi
and jack-midi. I tested with gmidimonitor and messages are indeed
floating into the system.
Any help appreciated!

maybe of no help, but try something like:
strace amidi -l 2>&1 | grep open
and see what /dev is opened, it might give you some clue...
or maybe not...

You can grep for ioctl and see if it is done with file descriptor 3
before the failure, in which case you know amidi plays with that
device. Why does it fail... I don't know...
And why does amidi try all the other devices after that I don't know,
neither what /dev/aloadXX is...
Maybe you can have a look at alsa.conf too...
Great help, no? :-)

This happens if the snd-rawmidi module is not loaded. Apparently, you
do not have any kernel driver using raw MIDI ports.
I should note that my physical midiin is located on my
edirol (FA66)
firewire audio interface, and I use a2jmidid to bridge between alsa-midi
and jack-midi.
a2jmidid creates sequencer ports, not raw MIDI ports.
If you want to use amidi to access those ports, load snd-virmidi and
connect it to a2jmidid. (This won't help you if it is Jack's FFADO
driver that drops SysEx messages.)

So basically I cannot use my firewire device to dump sysex, right?
I dug out my old crappy midimate, and the dumping worked as expected,
thanks for the hints!
