by Hello!
I'm running kernel 2.0.30 currently. I have an Ensoniq Soundscape
installed in my system, and an external keyboard. I would like to be
able to use the keyboard for MIDI input into a Linux sequencer, but so
far it's had other plans, it seems.
From what I can gather, Linux only sees the Soundscape itself. Midi
files play properly, using the board's internal synth, but if I tell
playmidi to use the -e switch (for external midi), it still uses the
internal synth. Furthermore, nothing is coming through the interface
from the keyboard, though I've checked that the sequencer and the
keyboard are transmitting and receiving on the same channel. Does anyone
know how to make Linux recognize the interface? Below are the results
from cat /dev/sndstat and the sound options I've placed in my kernel.
Thanks!
