No luck so far, at least as far as a good basic piano-roll-style MIDI
recorder/sequencer; but I have found that Softwerk is absolutely
fascinating!! All I had to do was set the environment variable MIDIIN to
/dev/midi, and it works great; keyboard events can be used to trigger
sequences, or short sequences can be step-recorded from the keyboard.
There are many severe limitations but it's still a *really* fun thing to
play with, and I haven't even explored nearly all of the possibilities
yet.
One question, if anyone's listening: Does anyone know if there's a way
to have a soft-synth (like RTSynth) receiving MIDI events on one
channel, while another application listens on another channel? I can't
figure out how to get anything other than "/dev/midi: device or resource
busy". Is this do-able with OSS drivers (the commercial ones)?
Thanks,
PW
