That's what I think is needed - or I'm having a really strange day today. The
order of my steps in the last mail resulted out of the following history.
Then I'll give some other order of steps to reproduce the problem which don't
involve qjackctl in an early stage.
Before I tried all that business with vkeybd, I was *absolutely sure* that the
MIDI-cable was broken.
Then I switched the MidiSport to hardware routing and I was *absolutely sure*
that not the MIDI-cable was broken (as it worked), but that the MIDI
interface itself had a problem.
Thus I rebootet with win2k and verified that under windoze the piano made
sound at the port it was expected to do so. Then I was not sure no more about
nothing and began to try things out.
To give another, precise order to reproduce that weird problem:
[A]
- reboot machine
- start rosegarden via Alt&F2
With this default studio (partially):
Manage Midi devices ->
Play Devices:
80:2 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3 (write) <-- piano
80:1 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 2 (duplex) <-- synth
88:2 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3 (write)
...
Record Decices:
80:0 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 1 (duplex) <-- piano
...
piano is the instrument I'm interested in.
- Press Record Button, play something
Records track 1 piano (80:2 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3)
-> notes visible within RG
- Press the Play button
RG plays, bar over the track number "1" is nicely animated.
-> But no sound from the piano.
(Possible reason: 80:2 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3 (write)
physically not connected to the piano).
- Change instrument for Track 1 to above synth
- Press the Play button
-> Synth is making noise from a track not intendet for it.
=> conclusion: 80:x MidiSport working for input and output
-> Only possible reason causing the failure:
"80:2 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3 (write)
physically not connected to the piano."
- Close RG
[B]
- start qjackctl via Alt&F2
- start vkeybd via Alt&F2
qjackctl: Connect Virtual KeyBoard to Playback Device:
129:0 Virtual Keyboard |- 0: Virtual Keyboard
--to-- 80:2: MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3 (above claimed piano)
- klick some keys -> no sound.
=> double conclusion: The claim
"80:2 MidiSport 2x4 MIDI 3 (write)
physically not connected to the piano."
has been proven to be true.
-> Back to [B] again to be really sure.
-> verified
[C]
- logout
- login again (with the same account)
- back to square [B]
- klick some keys -> sound! sound! soooouuuuund!!!!!!!!
=> double conclusion has been proven to be false.
Ok. Hold on. Close qjackctl, terminate jack server,
logout, login.
-> Back to square [A] (without rebooting)
-> Anything is reproducable.
