Hi Lenson! No problem. As long as you fixed your problem. I thik that's why this list exists. To help. It's always learning. I can tell from own experiences. :-) I guess so can others. Warmly yours Julien Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ===

Hi all, I finally figured it out- bad MIDI cable. I hadn't even thought about this, because the cables were brand new, out of the box, but then again one should always test a brand new cable. Embarrassing, and a total waste of time and money. I really appreciate the time you took to read into my

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I did make sure they were both using the same channel, and I did a diagnostic MIDI loop-back with the Kurzweil to find that indeed it can't transmit/receive its own MIDI signals. I haven't set up the diagnostic loop on the Delta1010 yet, but that is a good idea. As of

Hi Lenson, Make sure you are sending on the same MIDI channel that your kurzweil is set to receive. You may be able to set the Kurzweil to receive on OMNI (which means all channels). Each MIDI device is different so I can't tell you how to do this for your device. I hope this doesn't sound like

I was able to get a MIDI sequencer program to pick up on MIDI data coming into the card, but I was using Windows for that test, only to confirm that the card's MIDI input port was working. I will certainly send an update once I get a chance to try it out on the Linux station. I haven't tried yet t

OK, but so you were abel to completely establish, that the card receives MIDI, can probably send it and it can doso under Linux. It shouldn't be an issue, my card is running here since 2002, first under a 2.4 kernel and now under ever changing linux kernels (2.6) with their built-in ALSA. I only

As of yet, I have no idea why the keyboard is not sending MIDI. I use a Kurzweil PC3x, and the configuration for MIDI should be very simple. It has a standard "MIDI out" port as well as USB MIDI capability (which I have not yet tried to use), but this keyboard is supposed to be able to use all form

Hey! Do you know, why this is happening? Can you see any reason, why your keyboard shouldn't send MIDI-events? Or do you suspect something's broken there? Do you have a simple old MIDI keyboard, or does it have a USB or other connector? Kindly yours Julien Music was my

In regards to the my last mailing about the MIDI I/O, I found out last night that there are no MIDI signals coming out of my keyboard- unexpected, and unfortunate, but at least it's less mysterious now. Much thanks to Julien for the tips on using aconnect and aseqdump. Best, Lenson 2010/4/1 Julie

Hi! I don't exactly have your kernel, but very close. Did you try: aconnect -li and aconnect -lo These should also list your ALSA sequencer MIDI ports. To see, if your soundcard gets MIDI-input: aseqdump -p 20:0 Or was your card "10". If you see something there, then at least you'
