Rosegarden midi-out to LS in

Post by mdmullins » Fri Jul 30, 2010 9:53 am

Feeling a little dumb here. I've got jack and LS up and running. Loaded a .gig and made all proper connections through Jack and the virtual keyboard works fine with LS. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to get Rosegarden (or any sequencer for that matter) to output it's midi data to LS when I load a midi file.

Search high and low through Google but no luck.

What am I missing?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You must create a midi device in LS and in the midi device manager in RG hook it up

Thanks for replying.

There was already a default device setup in LS, but I created another one. I'm assuming that the problem I'm having is on RG's end and not LS's because jack-keyboard has no problem finding LS's port.

Here's a screenshot: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=9h2dc3&s=3

Front and center in the attached image is RG's device manager. Just behind it is RG's.

Do I need to compile RG from scratch with this or that switch set?

Again. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yeah, there's the problem. You need to set the midi input in Qsampler to ALSA, not JACK, for Rosegarden to see it (RG uses Alsa-Midi, not jack midi for midi I/O). In the qsampler devices, just change the Driver option in the top right corner to ALSA, and it should appear in the ALSA tab of qjackctl and in Rosegarden as Linuxsampler.

Hope this helps!

Andrew.

Thanks again for responding.

While Alsa is up and running (alsamixer works fine) there is no driver option available besides Jack in QSampler's device manager...

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 which uses Pulseaudio, which qjackctl suspends when it starts, but I suspect the problem is with Pulseaudio. But I have no idea.

Thank you,

Hm, that, I think would point to having no alsa support compiled into linuxsampler, which is weird if it's from the ubuntu repos or if you compiled it yourself and you have the alsa dev packages installed. :/

Yes. Thank you. That was it. I installed the alsa development shared libraries and then compiled linuxsampler from source. After a bit of tweaking, Rosegarden is now working beautifully with LS.

Thank you so much.
