Hey all,
Has anyone had success with MIDI on the Deluxe model using the alsa drivers?? I am not hooking instruments up but would like to play with sound apps that support MIDI files.
After finishing this post I am going to try and playing with the alias sections of the "/etc/modules.d/alsa" file to see if I can get /dev/midi device to show up. Anywho .. here is what I have dug up so far ......
| Code: |
ls -la /dev/midi
ls: /dev/midi: No such file or directory
|
I have been over the docs on the alsa-project site but I'm not real sure what to do next. Is there a option to enable midi that I am missing??
| Code: |
cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

I got midi working with timidity++ with my nforce1 chipset.
Just emerge timidity, and it supplies the midi stuff for you. |
