[Alsa-user] sblive: gameport, midi devices, midi ports, gmidimon
Title: sblive: gameport, midi devices, midi ports, gmidimon hi, problem: get midi in/out (externally) of my sblive. in the past, i've used the midi/game port for external midi. lspci shows that it's there: 00:0d.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 01) Subsystem: Creative Labs Gameport Joystick Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32 I/O ports at 7000 [size=8] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 pmidi -l shows that i have UART 72:0 Rawmidi 1 - EMU10K1 MPU-401 (U EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) question: is this the game port? if so, how do you know? if not, what is it? assuming it's the game port (big assumption), i wanted to see if i can monitor midi events to/from it. i've got a running copy of gmidimon, which is supposed to monitor midi events according to midi input which it lists by device, e.g: /dev/snd/midiC1D0 /dev/snd/midiC1D1 /dev/snd/midiC1D2 cat /proc/asound/devices lists three raw midi devices which i believe correspond to those available in gmidimon: 40: [1- 0]: raw midi 41: [1- 1]: raw midi 42: [1- 2]: raw midi i'd thought to use pmidi to send events to the UART port (72:0), like: pmidi -p72:0 somefile.mid and then monitor the corresponding device (/dev/snd/midiC1D0??) with gmidimon. but a) i'm not sure which *device* UART corresponds to (if it does at all), and b) i've tried monitoring all of the possible devices, and gmidimon displays nothing. the larger question is: how to troubleshoot and get my midi/game port working if possible? the smaller question is: how do i know which midi *ports* correspond to which midi *devices* (if they actually correspond at all). many thanks in advance if you even get *through* this post. sheesh. hawkeye parker
