I'm happy to report that I was quite mistaken about the SBLive and
MIDI. It DOES allow you to play midi files using the wave table
synth, with the ALSA drivers, by treating it like an SB AWE32/64 card.
IOW if you use playmidi -a <file> it will play midi to the wave table
synth. The trick is that you must use sfxload to load one of
Creative's sound font files first, or you will get no sound output! I
seem to recall that I never needed to do this with my actual SB AWE32
or 64 cards... but I could easily be mistaken there too. The best
part of all is that there's evidence that at one point I actually did
have this working before... Duh. Thanks to ccb and everyone else
that replied.
I wasn't able to get it to work with the FM synth (Does the SB Live
even have an FM synth? I thought it did...)
I suppose the next question is does anyone know of any good MIDI
sequencing software for Linux, which works with the AWE32/64 cards (or
specifically the SB Live card with ALSA drivers)?
Thanks
