[linux-audio-user] Serial midi trouble

[Gerrit Niestijl]

Hi,

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.

The serial midi driver is loaded like this:

modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x3f8 irq=4 adaptor=4 outs=1

I also tried 'adapter=1' (soundcanvas mode) but with the same result.

Am i doing something wrong? Missing something?
