snd-virmidi loads, but doesn't pass data

But I'm trying to get snd-virmidi working in order to connect to ChucK (or PD), which do not support sitting around waiting for an incoming MIDI connection. They insist on establishing an incoming MIDI connection at startup time. If you want to patch devices to them on the fly, you're screwed. I was hoping to use snd-virmidi for that, but, alas, no luck so far. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGF1rze8HF+6xeOIcRAtLYAKC1qLWoO0+pZO1l2DMl1hcI1vIR/QCg vuHi HLRPAvFQIuWmjMGqxRAfbA8= =4E6C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Take Surveys.

I guess you misunderstand the concept of virmidi? snd-virmidi is a bridge between ALSA sequencer port and a MIDI byte-stream device (e.g. /dev/snd/midiCD). It's no event router.

Suppose you connect App A -> virmidi and virmidi -> App B. Then the event flow is: App A -> VirMIDI -> /dev/snd/midiCD _and_ /dev/snd/miciCD -> VirMIDI -> App B That is, there is no connection between Apps A and B. If you need a static event router, you can use snd-seq-dummy module. Takashi ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
