Hi,
I thought by reading the man page that I could just plug my USB MIDI Keyboard,
launch fluidsynth with a soundfont as argument and play.
But it seems I'm missing something.
I tried 'fluidsynth -d -m coremidi x.sf2' but I don't see any MIDI events being
received.
Any hints ?
Thx.

Hi
Can I ask the same question for Windows? I'll be using Qsynth with
fluidsynth and I also have a USB MIDI keyboard connection. I have the
software installed but haven't tried this part yet.
I tried previously with a different USB connection which installed the
drivers under USB instead of sound and could never figure out how to
make Qsynth see the driver. That's why I'm asking here.
BTW I'm using the fluidsynth bundled with Qsynth (version 1.1.1) for
getting started purposes if it makes a difference. Also the version of
Windows is XP Professional SP3. The MIDI/USB connection is a Cakewalk
branded MIDI/USB interface. Again for getting started purposes I'd like
to use the default Windows drivers and not Roland's.
Previously Pedro wrote this:
Yes, FluidSynth can read from Windows MIDI ports. Using the command line
interface program (fluidsynth.exe), you need to provide the exact port name
(including spaces) in the command line:
C:> fluidsynth.exe -o midi.winmidi.device="port name"
The list of available port names are listed in the sound settings of the
windows control panel.
In the worst case can "port name" be a USB port or should XP install
drivers that will map the USB into the sound settings of the control
panel? Also, do I need an equivalent of the Patchbay application for
Mac OS X?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike
