[14:30] <RonaldsMazitis> I am trying to use MIDI device with LMMS, but I can't change from alsa sequencer to any other MIDI support in LMMS
[14:44] <akem> RonaldsMazitis, Can't seem to use MIDI either with LMMS. Though it works fine with Renoise using Alsa or Jack. And also with my own program or with Wine(Alsa only).
[14:44] <RonaldsMazitis> I used to use it
[14:44] <RonaldsMazitis> before I reinstalled PC
[14:46] <akem> RonaldsMazitis, You can try to launch lmms from the terminal, and look at the lines it prints. Then try to change midi config from settings maybe.
[14:50] <Eickmeyer> Which version of Ubuntu? You might have to wait until 20.04 releases (or test 20.04 now) to get a newer version with bug fixes.
[14:51] <Eickmeyer> Newer version of lmms.
[14:51] <RonaldsMazitis> it worked on 16.04 as well as 18.04
[14:51] <Eickmeyer> There's a newer version landed in 20.04.
[14:51] <Eickmeyer> The version in 19.10 might be buggy.
[14:51]  * Eickmeyer doesn't use lmms
[14:52] <RonaldsMazitis> I am on 18.04
[14:52] <RonaldsMazitis> I told You it already worked before reinstall
[14:52] <Eickmeyer> Are you using Ubuntu Studio?
[14:54] <RonaldsMazitis> #ubuntu sent me here
[14:54] <Eickmeyer> The question still stands. I need to know your installation media.
[14:55] <RonaldsMazitis> that means I'm on standard Ubuntu
[14:56] <Eickmeyer> Where you were sent from means nothing. If you're going to be like this, I'm going to go silent.
[14:57] <RonaldsMazitis> I told You I'm on ubuntu 18.04
[14:57] <RonaldsMazitis> studio just means extra audio tools installed
[14:58] <Eickmeyer> That's false. We do a lot for the configuration of the audio tools out of the box.
[14:58] <RonaldsMazitis> I told You it worked on standard Ubuntu 16-18 before
[14:58] <Eickmeyer> Please refrain from the attitude. You got the operating system FOR FREE and I'm trying to help you.
[14:58] <akem> RonaldsMazitis, Maybe you should try on regular #ubuntu again. Did you check your midi device with aseqdump?
[14:58] <Eickmeyer> I'm a volunteer.
[14:59] <RonaldsMazitis> https://ibb.co/KFwk6GC
[15:00] <RonaldsMazitis> as You can see LMMS finds my MIDI keyboard
[15:00] <akem> Anyone knows how to find out the port number needed to check a MIDI input device with aseqdump? I can't seem to find it in dmesg.
[15:00] <akem> aseqdum -p <ID> <- the ID i'm looking for, on a newly plugged device.
[15:00] <Eickmeyer> RonaldsMazitis: It looks like a bug in lmms then. We can't do anything here.
[15:01] <Eickmeyer> akem: I don't know, sorry.
[15:01] <akem> RonaldsMazitis, Maybe it sees it, but doesn't receive the events from it?
[15:03] <RonaldsMazitis> vmpk seems to get keys I pres
[15:03] <RonaldsMazitis> I am thinking of adding lmms repo
[15:03] <RonaldsMazitis> and upgrading version
[15:03] <akem> If vmpk receive them, then it should be fine on the MIDI side, yeah.
[15:04] <akem> That's strange.
[15:09] <akem> RonaldsMazitis, I know it's not a very good suggestion, but you could try to launch it as root just to see if it's not some right issue.
[15:09] <akem> Like adding your user to some group or whatever. But i doubt it, if it works with vmpk.
[15:11] <RonaldsMazitis> https://ibb.co/3kBrfTn
[15:11] <RonaldsMazitis> this setting gives output
[15:12] <RonaldsMazitis> it uses lmms
[15:13] <RonaldsMazitis> yeah so root works
[15:13] <RonaldsMazitis> for some reason
[15:16] <akem> You probably need to add your user to some group, don't know which one tho.
[15:18] <RonaldsMazitis> thanks
[15:18] <akem> Np.
[16:45] <Turdlar> what is the term for the instruments or sounds that are found under "banks" if i want to find additional collections? or in other words, how do i find additional sounds for the "banks" section?
[17:50] <OvenWerks> Turdlar: I am not sure I understand what you mean
[17:56] <Turdlar> In Yoshimi, can choose the sounds my midi keyboard outputs, by selecting a 'sound' in a window titled "yoshimi:Root 5, Bank 110 - [file path]. What is the  'sound items in that window called? is it just banks? i have a bank under number 105, that is called "will godfrey collection"
[17:57] <Turdlar> i tried googling stuff like "banks for yoshimi" or "banks for synth", but without anything obviously related
[17:58] <Guest27> can I get support for ubuntu studio in here? or is that a different chat room?
[18:00] <OvenWerks> Turdlar: I think everything is a bank/patch, but I think a bank can be loaded as a different bank number too (I am not sure) Will would know :) but I don't know if he hngs out at #lau or #opensourcemusicians or not.
[18:00] <OvenWerks> So a bank is a set of patches that can be loaded or created.
[18:01] <OvenWerks> Will does seem to read the lau mailing list (linuxaudio users) though
[18:02] <Turdlar> is the bank the correct name for the collection of "sounds" to use for midi keyboards like that?
[18:03] <OvenWerks> For that particular synth I would think so, for something like fluidsynth they would be called sound fonts
[18:03] <Turdlar> Guest27, try to ask the question, and people will respond if they can help
[18:04] <ottomang7> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1222933/dual-boot-windows-with-ubuntu-using-uefi-and-not-modifying-the-mbr
[18:04] <Turdlar> OvenWerks, Sound Fonts sounds more legit - thanks
[18:04] <ottomang7> I figured pasting the link would be easier
[18:05] <OvenWerks> ottomang7: you would be better asking in #ubuntu for that one. I think there are very few people in here who do that. (there has been no windows in our house sinse WIN95)
[18:05] <ottomang7> hehe ok thank you so much.
[18:06] <Turdlar> ottomang7, Or #debian
[23:15] <craigbass76> What's the trick to getting what I'm hearing coming into my Line In jack to record in Ardour? The screen shots I took of buss settings aren't cutting it (pardon the pun)
[23:17] <OvenWerks> line in? you mean like the on board line in?
[23:18] <craigbass76> Yeah, the regular 1/8" jack. I'm just coming out of an analog mixer's RCA jacks.
[23:18] <OvenWerks> It should be part of the PCH device
[23:18] <craigbass76> I'm hearing it out the computers speakers, just not getting any levels in Ardour. I do get a signal in Audacity, while crakly...
[23:19] <OvenWerks> Are you using jack or alsa in ardour?
[23:20] <craigbass76> Jack
[23:20] <OvenWerks> which device is jack set to?
[23:24] <craigbass76> Is this something I'd see in QjackCtl ?
[23:25] <OvenWerks> if you used qjackctl to start jack yes
[23:26] <craigbass76> All I'm seeing in the Audio clients is PulseAudio Jack Sink
[23:26] <OvenWerks> "Audio clients"? Is that in the qjackctl connections window?
[23:28] <craigbass76> Yep, left-hand pane (readable). Right-hand (writable) says system and PulseAudio JACK Source
[23:28] <OvenWerks> craigbass76: what does the setup say?
[23:28] <OvenWerks> there should be a settings tab with Parameters tab inside
[23:29] <OvenWerks> what "Interface" does it say
[23:29] <craigbass76> Alsa is the driver, and interface might be the culprit... Restarting Jack
[23:30] <craigbass76> Gah. Bonehead. It was set to USB (from me trying to use a Scarlett box a few months ago)
[23:30] <OvenWerks> So ok now?
[23:31] <craigbass76> I'd hug you, but... Corona.
[23:33] <craigbass76> I was trying to use the FOcusrite, but was having a delay that I'm not getting with an analog Mackie. I didn't remember having to switch to USB, and forgot to swap back. So, the screenshots I took WERE in fact valid, I just failed to stop and think long enough about Jack input. You could say, I don't know Jack?
[23:33] <OvenWerks> just a slip.
[23:34] <craigbass76> Been a long three weeks...
