Davo Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Does anyone here use Linux? I'm trying to figure out how to get a midi keyboard to talk to my Linux machine (specifically Ubuntu 7.04). All the howtos on midi and linux either completely ignore hardware or skip past that, assuming it always works.
Davo Posted August 7, 2007 Author Posted August 7, 2007 I assume you've installed the driver and Jack? Jack is installed. I can't figure out what else is needed besides. I have a MOTU Fastlane. When it's plugged in, /dev/midi1 appears. Doing "cat /dev/midi1" should produce a bursts of characters when keys on the midi board are struck, but nothing appears. Mashing keys only results in the MOTU flashing a light: expected, but not what I'm ultimately after. If I start Rosegarden, it recognizes that a MOTU Fastlane is connected. It doesn't get anything from the board either.
