Hi all,
Yoshimi seems be able to autoconnect to a MIDI input device (e.g. a
keyboard) using its --alsa-midi (short form -a) option. But I can't seem to
get it to work. I'm not sure what string I should pass to identify
For example, running:
yoshimi --alsa-midi="microKONTROL MIDI 1"
(i.e. using the name which aconnect -o gives for the device) gives the
error:
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ microKONTROL MIDI 1
Error, failed to open alsa midi device: microKONTROL MIDI 1
Any ideas how I should identify my keyboard? (OR does this feature simply
not work at the moment?)
Thanks!
J

You've found a bug :(
I've always used qjackctl so hadn't noticed it. It seems the actual error is
being generated by ALSA itself, but I don't know if it's getting a badly formed
call or what.
I'll try and investigate ASAP.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

The device name for snd_seq_open() must always be "default".
This option should change the client/port name.
(There is snd_seq_parse_address() for that.)

The master version of Yoshimi can now auto-connect to an ALSA MIDI source :)
That snd_seq_parse_address() is good. You only need a unique fraction of the
name for it to pick up.
