I am having some problems connecting my Roland
XP-30 synth through the
serial port. I can send midi data from the synth to the computer (eg
record them with seq24) and i can send midi data from the computer to the
synth (eg play the synth with vkeybd). But i as soon as i connect the
serial midi input with the serial midi output (the synth has its 'local'
set to 'off') and hit a note on the synth there appears to be a feedback
loop, because an endless amount of midi notes is being generated, flooding
my synth.
Apparently, the synth has "MIDI Through" or something like this enabled.
Hm, that does not seem to be the case. When i connect the synth with the
same settings to a harware sequencer (through midi cables) everything
works like expected.
I think it could help trying MIDI connectors and not the serial cable.
I remember having MIDI problems with a Roland XP-30 connected to my
computer via SB-Live MIDI connectors that were solved simply using a
better MIDI interface. The XP-30 sends soooo many aftertouch events
--this can be configured, though!
Indeed, i discovered that my cmipci card has a game port that can be used
as midi port through a module parameter, just like the SB-Live. I even
have a suitable midi cable for it. First tests show that it works well.
But i am considering bying a better midi interface though, with at least 2
in/out ports, so i can connect other equipment as well. It will have to be
a usb thing, because i am out of pci slots. Any suggestions are welcome,
by the way.
