Greetings,
I want to start working with JACK MIDI, but I'm not sure I understand
its requirements. I have a recent QJackCtl with the separate MIDI and
ALSA tabs, and I note that in Setup there's a MIDI driver selector.
Everything's fine if I leave it at None, but JACK won't start if I
select either Raw or Seq. I receive a rather cryptic message "
Unknownage with option 'X' " and that's it. JACK is version 0.103,
QJackCtl is version 0.3.2, on JAD 1.0. Please advise if other info is
needed.
Am I missing something obvious ?
Also, where can I find the sources to the aseq2jackmidi module ? (Yes,
I'm too lazy to search the LAU archives.)
Best,
dp

Current Debian Sid jack version do not yet support -X so you need
aseq2jackmidi to use it. Or else you must compile jack from more recent
versions.
The URL for the alsaseq bridge is on a recent post to LUA. If you like, I can
simply send you the source file off list. There is no make, simply compile as
instructed in the program comments!

Thanks, David. I roused myself to search the archives and found the
sources. Built it, ran it, it shows up in the MIDI tab in QJackCtl. So
far, so good. I'll check out Lars' AZR3 port asap.

You run jack, run the bridge, run azr3
GO to the ALSA pane, connect you MIDI controller to aseq2jackmidi
Go to the MIDI pane, connect aseq2jackmidi to azr3
Go to the Audio pane, connect azr3 to your output device.
Have fun.

Hi David. Thanks for the help. I also looked back on a reply from Dave
Phillips, which said almost the same.
I now have Azr3 running, and playing ok on Fedora 8. Azr3 wouldn't compile on
Debian Etch, but I'll try on my Lenny install. I know it compiles on Sid, as
Dave Phillips confirmed it, but Sid's a bit too near to the edge for me.
Some time later, and dependency problems on Lenny. An apt-get update/apt-get
get dist-upgrade shows some 292MB of updates, so It's going to be at least
18hrs on dialup before I can try the Azr3 compile again. 2 of the dep
complaints were libgtkmm, and liblash, and I see they are are being upgraded.
I tried to install the devel packages for these, but probably because there
are are new versions of these packages waiting to be installed, the devel
versions of the current installed packages are no longer available, and is
why apt-get was complaining it couldn't find them.
Being on dialup, I'm used to being very patient, so I'll see how it goes.
I also have Archlinux installed on the same machine, and the updates to the
latest package versions are quite impressive. I'll have a quick look, and see
if Azr3 will run on that without too many problems.
Thanks as always for the help that comes from the folks on the list.
Nigel.

Sorry, Nigel, but I may not have been clear. I'm running
alsaseq2jackmidi and Lars's AZR3 on my JAD machine (OpenSUSE 10.2, 32-bit).
Btw, FWIW, Lars's port is the third time the AZR3 has been ported to Linux.

Yes, the menu opens, but nothing's there. What am I missing ?

Well, I would have if I had run 'make install'. :-/ Yes, I'm an
idiot.
Sorry, Lars. The presets are all there, but I still have a complaint:
The coloring in the presets menu is something like yellow lettering on a
white background. Unfortunately they're too close in shade, to the point
where I can hardly discern the preset names (actually I can't read them
at all unless they're highlighted). Where in the code can I change that
coloring ?
Btw, thanks for the port. :) Any plans for more ?

The background colour in the menu is supposed to be a dark gray, to
match the rest of the GUI. It works on my desktop computer but
apparently not on my laptop although they have the same versions of
gtkmm and friends installed, so there's something wrong there. Try the
attached patch ('patch -p0 < colourfix.diff' in the source directory for
azr3-jack 1.0.1).

No, I have too many projects already.

Sounds like the "Apply colors to none-KDE-apps"-problem. Stupid
gtk-app-developers not entirely following the system colors and mixing system
colors with their own...
Have you tried disabling that option? Helps for ardour2 too.
