Hi, ever wanted to use your MIDI stuff using Java on Linux? Now, there is the beginning of a chance: Tritonus, an open-source implementation of the JavaSound API for Linux, now includes experimental support for MIDI I/O. I've done several tricks but can't finally test it because I have no MIDI gear. If you're interested in trying it, please mail me. Requirements are: - a soundcard supported by ALSA (http://www.alsa-project.org) - Linux 2.2.x kernel (tested with 2.2.10, every recent version should work) - cvs version of the ALSA drivers (tested with cvs snapshot 2000/01/04, be sure to build --with-sequencer=yes) - jdk1.2.x for GNU/Linux i386 (tested with blackdown 1.2.2 RC3 [http://www.blackdown.org], others should work) - the usual development tools Matthias ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
