midisport firmware, jack and version .59
Hello All, If I sound like a newbie, I am -- linux *and* midi. I would like to be able to use my keyboard through a midisport uno usb midi interface in Musix (ZynAdd, Speciman). I fire up Jack and zynadd. In Jack I midi-connect my midisport to zynadd, zynadd is already audio-connected to my sound card. I can conrol zynadd with its onscreen keyboard (and the "virtual keyboard" app if I map it in Jack). I can't by using the my midisport keyboard. I understand I need firmware loaded into the midisport in order to have it function properly. I've downloaded the *midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz* and followed the compile instructions. A requirement according to the readme is *udev* I fire up synaptic, check udev and apply. This uninstalls hotplug. After udev is installed, I run configure, make and make install. I think the rules are supposed to automatically load the firmware, but it still does not control the app, even after reboot. I see /dev/midi1 and try #cat /dev/midi1 (I've read elsewhere) and hit some keys -- nothing. Maybe I'm missing something simple in my ignorance? One other thing - I'm using the .59 version and I need to run #modprobe snd_seq in order to launch Jack with out popping a midi error. Maybe this is an incomplete command to get it to go? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I think you should ask the ALSA people: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user or the Rosegarden people: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user (they know how to do that...)
