Midi

[mugs]

My Midi isnt configured. In the KDE Control Center, under Midi, there are no devices listed. Can anyone point me in the direction to get started? thanks.

For example, I cant get any of those virtual keyboards to work, and when I start Kmid, it crashes with signal 11. This is the backtrace:

A program called KMidi plays, but gives some messages that certain components cant be found

[trommaster]

by 'midi' what do you mean?
you have a keyboard that you want to plug up, you want to fiddle with a virtuakl keyboard, or you want to play .mid/.midi files??

[mugs]

It would be the last 2.

[trommaster]

no devices will be listed under midi because thats for option 1
im not sure if kmid needs them or something? what does the handbook/homepage say?

are there 2 apps... Kmid and Kmidi? or was it just a typo
Kmid seems to be a player, Kmidi is... also a player... :P :P a bit of clarity might help there

What sound card?

[mugs]

I would like to revisit this, please. I now run Mandrake 9.0 as opposed to Suse 8.0.

I can open a .mid file and run KMid, it doesnt crash. But, there is no sound. It looks like is is playing, but no sound.

I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card.

Thanks.

[mugs]

Well, it does work if I use KMIDI, although it says it cant load a couple of things. so, I guess midis do work...thanks.

Do you have issues hear other media formats?

[mugs]

No, I can hear other formats, althouth I am not so happy with the sound quality. Someone suggested that it is because my sound card is sharing an IRQ, but I dont know.
