according to your dmesg (other mail), you don't any MIDI ports on your machine. > Relevant output: > $ dmesg ... > uaudio0: sync play xfer, err = 6 > uaudio0: sync play xfer, err = 6 > uaudio0: sync play xfer, err = 6 > ugen2 at uhub2 port 2 "Roland A-PRO" rev 1.10/1.20 addr 3 > Do you know if this is class-compliant (aka "driverless")? OpenBSD supports only class-compliant MIDI devices. Not all old devices are class-compliant because in the 2000's, Windows used to have a bug that hardware designers tried to workaround. Certain devices from the 2000's have a switch (or configuration parameter) to switch between vendor-specific and class-compliant modes. Try to dig in the manual. If you can't switch the device to class-compliant mode, get a USB-MIDI interface, they are cheap nowadays and just work. > $ cat /etc/rc.conf.local > pkg_scripts=avahi_daemon messagebus gdm cups_browsed > sndiod_flags=-z 128 -f rsnd/1 > > $ cat /etc/sysctl.conf > kern.audio.record=1 > > sndiod flags are for reduced latency and for audio to work properly on my > Huawei MateStation. seems correct
