aaa, i succeeded in connecting my midi keyboard to bristol synth.
when i connect it, /dev/midi1 file is created.
qjackctl does not work in my windowmaker — when i start it, whole windowmaker hungs unless i don’t kill the process from pure terminal or via ssh.
so without jack, just alsa:
startBristol -mini -audio alsa -midi alsa -channel 1 -mididev /dev/midi1
now it is necessary to connect midi keyboard’s output to bristol’s input:
client 20: ‘Impulse’ [type=kernel,card=1] 0 ‘Impulse MIDI 1 ‘ Connecting To: 128:0 1 ‘Impulse MIDI 2 ‘ client 128: ‘/dev/midi1’ [type=user,pid=11247] 0 ‘/dev/midi1 input’
connecting:
aconnect 20:0 128:0
works:
noch@hactar ~ $ aconnect -l client 0: ‘System’ [type=kernel] 0 ‘Timer ‘ 1 ‘Announce ‘ client 14: ‘Midi Through’ [type=kernel] 0 ‘Midi Through Port-0’ client 20: ‘Impulse’ [type=kernel,card=1] 0 ‘Impulse MIDI 1 ‘ Connecting To: 128:0 1 ‘Impulse MIDI 2 ‘ client 128: ‘/dev/midi1’ [type=user,pid=11247] 0 ‘/dev/midi1 input’ Connected From: 20:0 noch@hactar ~ $ ```
now i can play on midi keyboard and get sounds of moog mini. aaa.
