[64studio-devel] Midi connection to Behringer V-amp2 with freevamp

[Jürgen Schöneberg]

Thanks for the reply!

>What was it that made you think the V-amp would be on that specific port?
I tried it on all /dev/midi , /dev/midi1 ,/dev/midi2
I thought about /dev/midi2 because I have to soundcards

see the output:

-------------------------------------------
$ cat /dev/sndstat

Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.16rc1 emulation code)

------------------------------------------------

and:

I added the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
options snd-ens1371 index=0
alias snd-card-2 snd-ice1712
options snd-ice1712 index=2

but I dont know if I have to do something for the midi ports

(but as mentioned ,  the MS version works together with wine)



thank you very much

Jürgen

What does:

$ cat /dev/sndstat

say about your MIDI devices?

The ALSA emulation of the OSS MIDI port should work, although I haven't 
tested this hardware personally.

What was it that made you think the V-amp would be on that specific port?

Cheers!
