[00:00] You should get a dialog window open up [00:00] do you want a pastebin of the error messages? [00:00] on the right side there is a buttom that says Interface [00:01] is it still set to (default)? [00:01] yes [00:02] it's default [00:02] To the right of that there is a > if you click that you will get a list of what jack sees for devices. [00:02] yes [00:03] hw:1 is the fast track pro [00:03] That would be where yu select the USB device [00:03] default is HW:0 [00:03] so i should pick hw:1 right? [00:04] Yes. [00:04] anything else? [00:04] Then ok the dialog and start or restart jack [00:04] ok [00:04] now is working [00:05] Does it have all the inputs and outputs? [00:05] Open connections [00:05] it has capture 1 and 2 [00:05] select the audio tab [00:06] does it have playback as well? [00:06] yes [00:06] 1 and 2 [00:06] should it be 1-4? [00:06] I don't know that unit at all [00:06] it has 4 inputs [00:07] but two of them are spdif [00:07] i don't use them [00:07] SO do you have all you need then? [00:07] i think so [00:08] one more question [00:08] Good. You may need to remember that hw nunbers change from boot to boot sometimes. [00:08] ah ok, it is normal that? [00:08] So after a boot you may need to set the device in jack again. [00:08] ok [00:09] some video displays have sound outputs and most web cams do too. [00:09] those can mess the setup up [00:09] ok [00:09] i will check then [00:10] there is a way of setting the device up to have a name and select the name, but I don't remember how [00:10] i also have a usb midi controller, a keyrig 49 that i use to play virtual instruments [00:10] That should just work, mine does. [00:10] how do i set it up? [00:10] i have to make some moves with jack? [00:11] plug it in and it should just show up in the ALSA window of connections. [00:11] yes it is [00:11] so its ready? [00:11] If you have some stuff that uses jack midi, then run a2j to bridge them. [00:12] a2j? [00:12] If you can see the connector in qjackctl it is ready to use [00:12] ok [00:12] the connections window has two tabs called alsa and midi. a2j bridges them. [00:13] So that all the midi connections in alsa show up in MIDI as well [00:13] but i have to make a conection or there is no need? [00:13] Some synths only show in the midi panel. [00:14] Click on the source (you usb midi) and the program you want to connect it to. [00:14] then hit the connect button. [00:14] i just opened the foo yc20 [00:14] it only apears at the midi tab [00:14] but my keyrig its in alsa [00:15] in a terminal type a2j -e [00:15] yes, now appears in midi also [00:15] a2j [00:16] click on the triangle [00:16] yes [00:16] You should see you midi IF [00:16] midi through [00:17] di you start a2j with the -e switch? [00:17] yes [00:17] i typed what you told me [00:17] odd.. normally that works. [00:18] what is supposed to happen? [00:18] a2j should have both through and your IF in the MIDI tab [00:19] oh [00:19] can it be fixed? [00:19] I am sure it can [00:20] It is just that it just works for me :) [00:20] so what should i do? [00:21] I would try restarting a2j first [00:21] ok [00:21] you may have to stop it first [00:21] yes [00:22] how? [00:22] a2j_control exit [00:22] ready [00:23] try a2jmidid -e [00:24] error! [00:24] opps. [00:25] it says a2j_alsa_connect_from: can't subscribe to 16:0 [00:25] resource temporary unavailable [00:25] port skipped: keyrig 49 [00:25] Instead of a2j lets try the jack midi driver. [00:25] ok [00:26] maybe do a killall -9 a2j just to be sure. [00:26] then open the qjackctl setup again [00:27] at the bottom, there is a midi driver box that right now says none [00:27] i'm there [00:27] it used to be on the left bottom but I see mine is on the right [00:27] yes, in my case it is in raw [00:28] maybe that is why a2j didnt work [00:28] Ya. [00:28] i will try again [00:28] nop [00:29] still doesnt who if [00:29] midi if [00:29] RAw should have already put your midi port in the MIDI tab with out a2j [00:30] lets see [00:30] midi capture [00:30] 1 and 2 [00:31] One may be the through. Jack doesn't give nice labels like a2j [00:33] They are numbered in the order they apear in the alsa tab [00:34] in the output tab or input tab? [00:36] on my left i have the output ports [00:36] it says 14:Midi through [00:36] 16:KeyRig 49 [00:37] 20:Fast track pro [00:37] on my right just 14:midi through and then 20: fast track pro [00:44] I'm sorry, I will have to go (family outing) do try #opensourcemusicians [00:44] And maybe if ailo or holstein are around they can talk to you [00:45] ok [00:45] thank you! === raffa__ is now known as raffa === TheDrums is now known as Guest72835
