To all of you ALSA/MIDI musicians, I have a collection of soundfonts that I want to use under Linux. They work fine with the EMU-Live drivers under windows (except for the fatal exceptions every 10 minutes) but I can't get them to work properly under Linux.
The problem is that the drivers don't seem to recognise any controller events that have been mapped to the various soundfont parameters. The default controller assignments (volume, expression,...) work ok but custom mappings do not. For example, I can assign the footpedal to the Filter Cutoff Frequency of the soundfont, controlling the sound real-time. This does not work with the OSS drivers, nor with the ALSA drivers. Another example is to create two Hammond layers in the soundfont, one with fast leslie, one woth slow leslie. In the soundfont, I have assigned the volume controller to the volume of only the fast layer, leaving the volume of the slow hammond untouched. This enables me to enable/disable the leslie sound real-time. This does not work either. Does any one of you know if I need some special configuration to get ALSA to use the controller mappings stored in the soundfonts, or is it an unimplemented feature? Is there any work going on in the Emu10k1 development anyway?
