I'm considering trying to get MIDI enabled on my workstation/music experimentation machine. It has two soundcards which work fine for DSP playback and recording: av% cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) May 20 2001 20:36:50 Installed devices: pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1370> at io 0xe800 irq 11 (1p/1r channels duplex) pcm1: <SB16 DSP 4.02 (ViBRA16X)> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 (1p/1r channels) However I'm not able to get any basic MIDI functionality working: av% playmidi -e somethin.mid Playmidi 2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-1997 Nathan I. Laredo, AWE32 by Takashi Iwai This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. For details please see the file COPYING. open /dev/sequencer: Device not configured There doesn't seem to be much info about newmidi in the archives or on the web. I found a page for newmidi patches on the FreeBSD site, but they seem old (around 4.0 time) and there's no "midi" device in LINT and no "midistat" in MAKEDEV. I had an external synth hooked up to the AudioPCI back in 1999, using FreeBSD 3.x and the commercial OSS drivers. Is there something else that needs to be configured before MIDI is functional? - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
