len-dtYou should get a dialog window open up00:00
ariel__do you want a pastebin of the error messages?00:00
len-dton the right side there is a buttom that says Interface00:00
len-dtis it still set to (default)?00:01
ariel__yes00:01
ariel__it's default00:02
len-dtTo the right of that there is a > if you click that you will get a list of what jack sees for devices.00:02
ariel__yes00:02
ariel__hw:1 is the fast track pro00:03
len-dtThat would be where yu select the USB device00:03
len-dtdefault is HW:000:03
ariel__so i should pick hw:1 right?00:03
len-dtYes.00:04
ariel__anything else?00:04
len-dtThen ok the dialog and start or restart jack00:04
ariel__ok00:04
ariel__now is working00:04
len-dtDoes it have all the inputs and outputs?00:05
len-dtOpen connections00:05
ariel__it has capture 1 and 200:05
len-dtselect the audio tab00:05
len-dtdoes it have playback as well?00:06
ariel__yes00:06
ariel__1 and 200:06
len-dtshould it be 1-4?00:06
len-dtI don't know that unit at all00:06
ariel__it has 4 inputs00:06
ariel__but two of them are spdif00:07
ariel__i don't use them00:07
len-dtSO do you have all you need then?00:07
ariel__i think so00:07
ariel__one more question00:08
len-dtGood. You may need to remember that hw nunbers change from boot to boot sometimes.00:08
ariel__ah ok, it is normal that?00:08
len-dtSo after a boot you may need to set the device in jack again.00:08
ariel__ok00:08
len-dtsome video displays have sound outputs and most web cams do too.00:09
len-dtthose can mess the setup up00:09
ariel__ok00:09
ariel__i will check then00:09
len-dtthere is a way of setting the device up to have a name and select the name, but I don't remember how00:10
ariel__i also have a usb midi controller, a keyrig 49 that i use to play virtual instruments00:10
len-dtThat should just work, mine does.00:10
ariel__how do i set it up?00:10
ariel__i have to make some moves with jack?00:10
len-dtplug it in and it should just show up in the ALSA window of connections.00:11
ariel__yes it is00:11
ariel__so its ready?00:11
len-dtIf you have some stuff that uses jack midi, then run a2j to bridge them.00:11
ariel__a2j?00:12
len-dtIf you can see the connector in qjackctl it is ready to use00:12
ariel__ok00:12
len-dtthe connections window has two tabs called alsa and midi. a2j bridges them.00:12
len-dtSo that all the midi connections in alsa show up in MIDI as well00:13
ariel__but i have to make a conection or there is no need?00:13
len-dtSome synths only show in the midi panel.00:13
len-dtClick on the source (you usb midi) and the program you want to connect it to.00:14
len-dtthen hit the connect button.00:14
ariel__i just opened the foo yc2000:14
ariel__it only apears at the midi tab00:14
ariel__but my keyrig its in alsa00:14
len-dtin a terminal type a2j -e00:15
ariel__yes, now appears in midi also00:15
ariel__a2j00:15
len-dtclick on the triangle00:16
ariel__yes00:16
len-dtYou should see you midi IF00:16
ariel__midi through00:16
len-dtdi you start a2j with the -e switch?00:17
ariel__yes00:17
ariel__i typed what you told me00:17
len-dtodd.. normally that works.00:17
ariel__what is supposed to happen?00:18
len-dta2j should have both through and your IF in the MIDI tab00:18
ariel__oh00:19
ariel__can it be fixed?00:19
len-dtI am sure it can00:19
len-dtIt is just that it just works for me :)00:20
ariel__so what should i do?00:20
len-dtI would try restarting a2j first00:21
ariel__ok00:21
len-dtyou may have to stop it first00:21
ariel__yes00:21
ariel__how?00:22
len-dta2j_control exit00:22
ariel__ready00:22
len-dttry a2jmidid -e00:23
ariel__error!00:24
len-dtopps.00:24
ariel__it says a2j_alsa_connect_from: can't subscribe to 16:000:25
ariel__resource temporary unavailable00:25
ariel__port skipped: keyrig 4900:25
len-dtInstead of a2j lets try the jack midi driver.00:25
ariel__ok00:25
len-dtmaybe do a killall -9 a2j just to be sure.00:26
len-dtthen open the qjackctl setup again00:26
len-dtat the bottom, there is a midi driver box that right now says none00:27
ariel__i'm there00:27
len-dtit used to be on the left bottom but I see mine is on the right00:27
ariel__yes, in my case it is in raw00:27
ariel__maybe that is why a2j didnt work00:28
len-dtYa.00:28
ariel__i will try again00:28
ariel__nop00:28
ariel__still doesnt who if00:29
ariel__midi if00:29
len-dtRAw should have already put your midi port in the MIDI tab with out a2j00:29
ariel__lets see00:30
ariel__midi capture00:30
ariel__1 and 200:30
len-dtOne may be the through. Jack doesn't give nice labels like a2j00:31
len-dtThey are numbered in the order they apear in the alsa tab00:33
ariel__in the output tab or input tab?00:34
ariel__on my left i have the output ports00:36
ariel__it says 14:Midi through00:36
ariel__16:KeyRig 4900:36
ariel__20:Fast track pro00:37
ariel__on my right just 14:midi through and then 20: fast track pro00:37
len-dtI'm sorry, I will have to go (family outing) do try #opensourcemusicians00:44
len-dtAnd maybe if ailo or holstein are around they can talk to you00:44
ariel__ok00:45
ariel__thank you!00:45
