trying to do a very simple thing, and getting nowhere.
when i hit a key on my midi keyboard, i want a sound to be played.
anyone have a suggestion on how to make this happen? i don't need to
record; i don't need anything fancy at all. i just want to hit the
keys and hear something. i've been searching the web for the last
couple of hours and not finding anything useful. the closest i've
come is fmplay (http://pages.infinit.net/linux/music/fmplay.html),
which will play for a few seconds, stop for a few seconds, play for a
few seconds, etc.
this supposedly works:

, but it compiles, runs, and nothing happens. i've tried changing
/dev/midi in it to something that actually exists on my system, which
is your choice of:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 35, 0 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 2 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi00
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 18 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi01
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 34 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi02
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 50 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi03
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 35, 1 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi1
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 35, 2 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi2
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 35, 3 Sep 25 1999 /dev/midi3
thanks,
jeff "'cat /dev/midi00 > /dev/sequencer' should work, imho" covey
