Ubuntu Multimedia :: Using External MIDI Device To Control Jack Transport
Oct 16, 2010I'm new to ubuntu but i do have a basic understanding of programming, but nothing too serious. The reason I am mentioning this is because I have a little project. Currently I use JACK to control the transport of all the aps i use to make music with ardour, hydrogen and rosegarden mainly. I also have an external midi drum machine that I sometimes hook up into the mix via midi in/out, my drum machine (yamaha ry to be exact can send and receive midi data. My question is can I use the transport controls on my external drum machine to control JACK's transport controls? If there is already am app that does something like that, excellent!

Jun 14, 2011I am a simple musician who bought a laptop that didn't have windows, nor can I afford a Windows license (being a proper poor musician and all). I have an M-Audio KeyRig 49 midi controller that I would like to get some sound out of. How might I do this? I have jack, qjackctl, qsynth, et al but forget qsynth... I can't even get jack to start! I just need to hook this thing up to a piano sample and I'll be happy as anything. I understand that system information can be useful so here goes: Running F14... here are the jack messages (btw, ctrl C does not work when trying to copy from the jack messages window, despite the contextual menu saying it should. That sucks. where do I submit a bug?)

I have already seen the Fedora Musician's Guide [URL] which is long on theory but short on practical how-to documentation. Is there a better doc I can look at? Do I need to download some special drivers to get this midi interface working? If I plug this thing in to my friend's Mac and run GarageBand, it 'just works' (though GB's piano samples are fairly horrific considering how expensive macs are.) I already own some decent soundfonts but without working jack it seems they aren't much use.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Forward Audio To Windows Using JACK
Nov 1, 2010Does anyone have any experience of forwarding audio from Ubuntu to Windows 7 x64 via JACK? I'm struggling to find any useful documentation. I've tried to accomplish the same using a Pulseaudio server, which is better documented but the windows binaries are years old and as far as I can tell can't be made to work without disabling IPv6. Any other ways to forward audio would also be welcome. Bandwidth isn't really an issue as it's VM to VM on the same machine.

Jun 27, 2011I've got an Acer Aspire 5101 with Natty on it and everything works so far, but I can't start Muse. It says: "Muse failed to find a jack audio server". At the bottom it also says: "...if Jack was started check if it was started as the same user as Muse". This might be the issue. But how can I check this? BTW: Jackd has been installed and I am a Member of the Audio Group.
I am new to Ubuntu and don't know how to fix this. I got this Notebook for free, because my Brother wanted to dispose it as it didn't worked properly after he reinstalled xp. Only the dvd-drive is broken, the rest is in really good condition for such an old thing. After a lot of trial and error I could finally install Natty from USB.
Programming :: Write MIDI Driver / Interfacing With Linux MIDI
Jul 31, 2011I am building a midi synthesizer that I'd like to be able to control from linux. I know its a rather broad question, but, how do I go about this? At this point the hardware consists of a simple UART bridge, and I've already written a simple C++ program using termios to send the raw midi data to the device. Obviously I don't want to write a player/sequencer from scratch, so where should I start if I wanted to get this thing to work with, say, a sequencer like rosegarden? Do I write the driver for rosegarden, or hook into alsa or what?

Jun 4, 2010I have been researching this for a few days and I am getting nowhere. All I want to do is play midi files in Ubuntu 10.04 and also in Firefox. If I install, for ex. Rosegarden it will play the midi but without sound.I have timidity installed as well as mozplugger. From the start midis partially work in Totem, but the sound is far from right.
I never had this much of an issue with midi before, really starting to irritate me.Is this a pulseaudio issue? I really don't feel like playing around with jack either, never have luck with it. It seems that installing timidty should have allowed me to play midi files on my computer.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Using Samples With MIDI
Oct 10, 2010Currently enjoying TuxGuitar, but I was wondering if there is a way to use some sort of Creative Commons drum kit samples instead of the current MIDI drums. Also would like to use some sort of synth or samples for guitars. I have looked for tutorials on this, but have not found anything yet.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Getting MIDI Keyboard To Play?
Dec 30, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with the Kubuntu desktop environment. I'm trying to use my MIDI keyboard through ALSA, Linuxsampler and Qsampler. But I still haven't got a sound out of it, and I fear that the information about the existence of the keyboard doesn't get through. That, or I don't know how to configure properly.
In sndstat, both my sound card (Guitar Rig) and my keyboard (Hua Xing) is showing up:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: MIDI App For Creating Rhythms?
Apr 25, 2011I am looking for a software that would allow me to build rhythms, adding one percussion sound after another. Ideally, it should be possible to connect it to external MIDI device for recording and playing back the recorded notes.This would go something like this: I set up a rhythm, say, 4/4, and I hear metronome sound that hints about the pace. I have a percussion voice selected on my synth, and whenever I press a key on the keyboard, that sound is recorded on my PC, registering it's position in the pattern. PC is repeatedly playing back the recorded sequence, so I can enrich the beat with more and more instruments. When the job is done, I'd save the created sequence in MID file, and use it later.
I have installed Rosegarden on my Ubuntu, and it might well be that it has such mode that does exactly what I'm looking for, but since Rosegarden doesn't seem to have official forum (only newslist, but I am now reluctant to sign me up to just another newslist), I wanted to check in this forum, maybe someone knows right away. At least, I have succeeded playing MID files via Rosegarden to my synth,and recording from synth to the Rosegarden interface, and save the result in MID file.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: MIDI - Players Don't Play Or Crash
Feb 20, 2010I have a problem playing MIDI files on my system: I tried opening two MIDI files in Audacious, VLC, Aqualung and Rhythmbox, and Rhythmbox is the only one that will play them:
- Audacious crashes when clicking on the file in the playlist (immediately disappears)
- Aqualung doesn't add them to its playlist
- VLC produces an error msg saying it can't play MIDI
- Rhythmbox plays a MIDI file and immediately crashes at its end
I'm on Ubuntu Karmic 64 and have timidity installed.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: MIDI Not Working - Get Information About System?
Mar 27, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 rt (realtime) kernel on a Dell box and trying to hook it up to a Yamaha P-80 keyboard. I'm not sure how to figure out what kind of MIDI cable I'm using. But I haven't been able to get the keyboard to play or write music on my Ubuntu or on Windows XP.
1.) How can I give you more information about my system?
2.) How can I test if it's working properly?

Jun 26, 2010I'm not sure what the technical term for the thing that creates midi sounds. Is it the midi sequencer? or midi driver?Regardless, I'm unhappy with the tones ubuntu produces for its drum midis. Does any one know how to change which tones it uses? I use lilypond to write percussion music and it can be easily translated into a midi file. I like to do this so that I can hear how the music sounds in real life and many mistakes.Unfortunately the toms are painfully low and hard to distinguish.

Jul 27, 2010As an arranger of collegiate a cappella music, I often times need to listen to a song as I'm playing with a midi sequencer or some arranging software. On Ubuntu, since Gutsy, I've often run into the same problem from distribution to distribution:
Midi and audio won't work at the same time. If I have an audio file open on VLC or FireFox, I can't play Midi sequences on my arrangement. If I'm arranging and listening to Midi notes, I can't play music. Note that it's incredibly inconvenient to constantly close one so I can play the other to finish arrangements.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Midi With Alsa Oss Emulation And Pulseaudio?
Sep 15, 2010I'm under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron using pulseaudio. I've got 2 soundcards : one internal AC97 7.1 without midi (card 0 in ALSA) and a PCI C-MEDIA 2.1 with OPL3 midi (card 3 in ALSA) I have sound in most ALSA or OSS applications with full 7.1 + 2.1 duplex. I have MIDI playback in any ALSA MIDI players (client 29:0 in ALSA).
I'm trying to run Final Doom for W95 on WINE with OSS driver. I have sound effects but no MIDI music. I tryed with padsp and aoss wrappers. I know I can use ALSA driver in wine or timidity, but I would rather use padsp + hardware MIDI if possible. How do I configure ALSA OSS emulation for MIDI playback and check that it's working ? I tryed playmidi but whatever I told it, it couldn't find any midi device.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Yamaha Disklavier Piano Won't Play Midi

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Studio 9.10 MIDI Input From Sound Card Not Working
Mar 21, 2010I am using ubuntu 9.10 (kernel 2.6.31-9-rt) and an M-Audio Delta 1010 PCI sound card, and trying to get MIDI inputs and outputs to work on this sound card.I have Jack installed and working. MIDI signals from virtual keyboard or a MIDI player can be routed to fluidsynth, and fluidsynth's audio can be played back through the outputs of the delta 1010.I can use a MIDI sequencer (e.g. rosegarden or qtractor) to record MIDI from virtual keyboard, with jack handling the routing.
But, no matter how I configure the connections in jack, I can't get any signals from the "MIDI In" port on the sound card.Does anybody have some thoughts on how to fix this? Where is the disconnect between the delta 1010 and qtractor? I am concerned also that the "MIDI In" LED on the front panel of the Delta 1010 never blinks. There must be some basic ALSA configuration that needs to be done to activate and use these MIDI ports, or something. I've been trying to figure it out for days.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Get Jack Going
May 2, 2010For starters; although I am comfortable with Ubuntu, I don't really understand these midi and jack things,Ok,so I got a midi controller keyboard which I want to connect to my ubuntu pc to start making some music (play piano and possibly try to make some songs). I don't know if my sound card supports midi, but I got a Roland midi-to-usb converter. I connected it to my pc and downloaded Jack Control. When I fire up Jack control my normal music (using audacious) stops (don't know if this is normal). On the window that appears I hit start which results in an error, which I will paste below:
