Hello all,
Can anyone confirm whether or not the hardware MIDI ports of the RME Multiface
are supported by ALSA?
According to the alsa-project web site, the Multiface does not support
[MIDIio], however, that same site also shows that the Digi32 and Digi96 do
not support [MIDIio], which contradicts what I've read on various mailing
lists about ALSA's MIDI support for the Digi32/96.
a) the digi32 and digi96 are completely different products from the
multiface, digiface, hdsp, digi9652 and digi9632 models. they use
different hardware, a different design, different everything.
b) the multiface MIDI I/O is supported, using the same code as the
digiface MIDI I/O which i was using last night.
I'm trying to get the MIDI ports of a Multiface
working (to get Rosegarden
talking to an external keyboard), but so far have had no success. Any ideas?
Pointers to relevant documentation?
it should just work. make sure you have the snd-seq module loaded, then
fire up qjackctl and you should see the port(s) for the Multiface. off
the top of my head i don't recall if it has 1 or two, the digiface has
two and they are both there. you can also use aconnect -l to see the
available ports from the standpoint of the ALSA sequencer.
