| studio-user821 | Hi, I'm a regular ubuntu (xubutu user) and have an e-piano with USB-MIDI output, It already worked with musescore, LMMS did not work right out the box ,I Installed the ubuntustudio packages and want to use Jackd to connect the MIDI-USB-EPiano with LMMS or some similar software. IS there a good manual? I would prefer not to get to deep into optimazing the software, I just want to use the e-Piano to create simple tacks an | 21:35 |
|---|---|---|
| studio-user821 | My current configuration: https://pastebin.com/KNCHCTAN | 21:35 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user821: if installing jack... use apt not the softare GUI | 21:49 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user821: you will also need to make sure your user is in the audio group. The easiest way to make sure these two things are set up correctly is to use the ubuntustudio-controls package | 21:51 |
| OvenWerks | It will allow you to put your user in the audio group and correct a jack install that was not done from the command line | 21:52 |
| studio-user821 | »ubuntustudio-controls« ist bereits die neuste Version (1.3). | 21:54 |
| studio-user821 | I have ubutu studio controls Installed, but I'm missing the step: waht do I have to click so that I get software sound generated from the USB-MIDI Input? | 21:56 |
| OvenWerks | Jack wants rt access which it will only get if the user is in the audio group. So if jack starts ok then this is setup right. | 21:59 |
| OvenWerks | In LMMS each track has a gear wheel at the front | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | it opens a menu with midi at the bottom, and midi has input and output | 22:02 |
| studio-user821 | I guess evrething is set up right... http://imgur.com/a/fE4yj | 22:03 |
| OvenWerks | in the input select the midi port of your midi in. | 22:04 |
| OvenWerks | Ya that looks right. | 22:04 |
| OvenWerks | Once I connect my midi port to a synth track I hit keys and get noise.. so I guess lmms connects itself to jack output ports | 22:06 |
| studio-user821 | I get these configs, and have no real idea, what to choose | 22:11 |

| OvenWerks | ALSA-Sequencer is what mine is set to. | 22:12 |
| studio-user821 | Is there somewhere a step by step picture manual about how to connect an usb MIDI-piano with jack to lmms? | 22:18 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user821: I have never used lmms beyond getting noise out of it. I am not a keyboard player might be why :) but lmms doews not seem to need jack at all and in fact doesn't use the midi part of jack in any case. | 22:26 |
| OvenWerks | Which is why you use ALSA. | 22:26 |
| OvenWerks | if you have a usb-midi piano, it should show up all on it's own. That is, it should be selectable from within lmms. | 22:27 |
| OvenWerks | It would have to be connected to each channel you need it for. | 22:28 |
| OvenWerks | Things to look for, a USB midi port may not have the name on the instrument, but rather the name of the USB chip manufacture | 22:29 |
| OvenWerks | Anyway, I need to take my son to a class. Back later. | 22:45 |
| studio-user821 | ok, It shows up on its own in rosegarden, but not in lmms, which is more designed for synthesizer games, somwhere was a hint that jack should work in lmms if the automatic detection does not.... anyway, need to sleep... its 00:52 am here, I go to my lokal Linux user group and ask around if somone has experience with sound on linux stuff and knows maybe up to date beginner instructions, anyway, thx | 22:54 |
