Seq24 is a cranky beast. I can only use it with the options "Jack
Transport", "Transport Master, and "Master Conditional" enabled in "Jack

Good luck:)

...and the setup does not work... :(

Despite the fact, that the Oxygene 61 is connected under the
Midi-tab (alsa_midi) to Zynaddsubfx and the channels are correctly
set...Zyn does not react.

Hi cinder,

thanks for your reply ! :)

I did, what you have suggested.

Now my Oxygene 61 shows up under tab 'Midi' of QJackctrl
hidden in entry an entry called "alsa_midi", which I have
to unfold (doesn't matter, whether this one is "hidden"...
I only describe this that detailed to make it comparable
to what you have ...).

Seq24 is still missing at all (and I forgot to mention
this sequencer in my previous post...)

Or is this seq24 handle all this

Mysterious this world of midi is, confusing they are...

Best regards,
Meino

Hi Meino, I have a2jmidid start automaticaly in qjackctl. It's been a
while since my midi played up, but I remember having issues like yours.

What did you try?

In Qjackctl Setup>Options tab I have "Execute script after startup"
enable, and the line:

/usr/bin/a2jmidid -e &

.. and "Execute script on Shutdow" enabled, and the line:

killall -s TERM a2jmidid

[gentoo-user] Midi problems...Oxygene 61 keyboard and neighbours]

2015-12-12 Thread Meino . Cramer

Hi,

I have a problem with my midi setup, which mainly
consists of the following parts:

jackd
zynaddsubfx with a "jack aware" midi in and out 
QJackCtrl
Qxygene 61 midi keyboard
(every software s up to date)


Normally I do as follows:
Switch on the Oxygene 61 keyboard
start QJackCtrl
start Zynaddsubfx

After opening the 'Connect'-dialog of QJackCtrl
Zynaddsubfx shows up under the 'Audio'-tab (for 
audio output) and under the 'Midi'-Tab for its
midi channel in- and outputs.

However, the keyboard is missing under the 'Midi'-
tab in 98% of all cases.
The keyboard can be found under the 'Alsa'-Tab',
from which I have to connect it to 'midi_through',
go to the 'Midi'-tab and connect the 'midi_through'
there with zynaddsubfx.

I would like to find the keyboard under the 'Midi"-
tab also, since it is the purest midi device I have. :)
...and it would frees the midi_through.

I played around with a2j, but it give me no changes.

Since I am newbie in this field ... I need the help
of an expert ;)

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
Meino
