hi Christian.
That's an excellent question, but as i'm not an expert user of audio
tools under GNU/Linux, I can't explain why it is like this. I'm gonna
ask someone more expert today, maybe an answer in few days.

We do so just to keep the tabs nice and narrow. They *should* read
however: "Jack-MIDI" and "ALSA-MIDI". These are two worlds, that cannot
easily be mixed but can coexist and even interact to some extent.
Since I`d always prefer understandability over nice design I would vote
for a change like this

Thanks, that was very accurate!
Would you mind explaining one detail to me?
If the JACK Connexions manager has three tabs ("Audio", "MIDI", and
"ALSA"), then why do we set up MIDI routing in the "ALSA" tab, rather
than in the "MIDI" tab?
(As you've shown here:

Korg Radias: mdia via USB?
Does anyone know if/how I can get my Radias to have a MIDI connection to my Ubuntu Studio 9.04 computer, over USB? I'm very new to connecting a MIDI keyboard to a PC. I just bought a Korg Radias, and it has a USB connector. The Radias software for Windows has a USB-MIDI driver. It works fine on Windows, but I have no idea how to tell if Ubuntu Studio's software can see the keyboard via MIDI. Any suggestions? I don't have a separate USB-MIDI conversion box, so at the moment the Radia's USB port is my only hope of connecting the keyboard to my PC. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
