So before I spend much more time fiddling around it would be great to hear from someone who actually managed to use a USB MIDI controller with LMMS on FreeBSD, because at this point I am not sure whether it can even work at all.

Keyboard on an usb midi interface (snd_uaudio, /dev/umidi0.0), (.) audio/lmms which appears to support oss midi, but couldn't get it to work with my interfaceĮven when using JACK (which I try to avoid because it is the opposite of "plug and play"), it seems to not work:Īs a regular user i could start jackd &jack_umidi via (.) Now I need something with gives a midi RX in qjackctl in order to connect. You will be redirected to in 30 seconds. With Lmms there is the MIDI option via OSS, but this does not work. All of our documentation is now hosted on The Mediawiki instance has been shut down, but if you need a copy we have one on. Looks like I am not the only one who is having trouble:īei Lmms gibt es zwar die MIDI option über OSS, aber das Funktioniert nicht. I fear that (USB) MIDI does not work at with LMMS on FreeBSD. The USB keyboard is not showing up in the MIDI Input menu and LMMS stays silent when keys are pressed. Screenshot Affected LMMS versionsġ.2.2 on FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE (helloSystem 0.7.0) Logs Click to expand If you want more soundfonts, try Doomkid's mega soundfont pack, but be aware that Fluidsynth could make some sound bad. You hear nothing in LMMS and see no activity. Start GZDoom, set Options -> Sound Options -> MIDI device to Fluidsynth, then go to Advanced options -> Midi player options -> Fluidsynth and pick SC-55-fluidsynth. Is it necessary to do anything here? Not clear!.In the TripleOscillator track, select MIDI -> Input (note that no USB devices are shown here, is this normal?).This proves that the USB MIDI controller messages appear correctly on /dev/midi. Verify that you can hear sound as you operate the controller. Verify that the midi controller works for example with sudo ln -sf /dev/umidi*.0 /dev/midi fluidsynth -m oss -a oss path_to/some.sf2.

On Windows, it's important that the VMeter be plugged in before starting LMMS. The VMeter is a generic USB MIDI device, so it should work equally well on Linux.

Cannot use external midi controllers under FreeBSD even though the messages do show up on /dev/umidi0.0.
