Hi,
I'm brand new to Squeak. I know that midi files can be played using the built in synth, but is there a way to play them with an external synth? I'm using Ubuntu Linux. Does Squeak see the Alsa midi ports? Would Jack help? I've tried using the ScorePlayer class, with openMIDIPort: 20 (the port number of my synth as it shows up in alsa), but I get a "Primitive failed" error message when I try to play something. _______________________________________________ SqueakAudio mailing list [hidden email] http://www.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/squeakaudio dabrowsa.vcf (222 bytes) Download Attachment |

Florian write an ALSA Midi port, which is in the OLPC branch: http://squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/olpc/platforms/unix/plugins/MIDIPlugin/ I don't know what the thinking is of getting this moved to the main unix VM. I don't know if it even works. Florian might know (copied). I've posted this to the VM mailing list. Maybe someone knows the thinking about the plugin and also the strategy of moving the OLPC work to main. brad > > I've tried using the ScorePlayer class, with openMIDIPort: 20 (the port > number of my synth as it shows up in alsa), but I get a "Primitive > failed" error message when I try to play something. _______________________________________________ SqueakAudio mailing list [hidden email] http://www.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/squeakaudio |
Do I need only the sqUnixMIDIALSA.inc file? Where does it go?

There are plenty of descriptions available if you'd like to do that. It's not hard if you're a C programmer and know linux. I was hoping that others might speak up, especially Florian, about the status of the file, before you dive into this. brad > > > Brad Fuller wrote: >> Andrew Dabrowski wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I'm brand new to Squeak.
