[Lmuse-user] No MIDI input

[oz <oz...@bl...>]

Hello list,

Oliver from Germany. I'm new here and did my first installation of muse
to record and send some midi notes. I like its clear and efficient
interface.

But I have no luck to get MIDI working in the first run. No MIDI input.
But with kmidimon and rosegarden I get input events, so maybe I have a
lack of general understanding.

I installed muse 0.8.1 and Qjackctl on Debian (lenny). I want to record
my external keyboard over the usb-midi-interface edirol UM1-SX on my
old laptop. I use no audio-interface at the moment.

This is what I tried to do, so maybe you can see, if I do something
wrong:

$ muse -m

* deleted the first audio track
* added a midi track
* the default MIDI settings are then:
* Output-Port 1(none)
  Output-Channel 1
  Input-Ports all
  Input-Channels all
* I connect in qjackctl: MIDI Readable client 20:UM-1SX with MIDI
Writable Client 129: MusE Sequencer
* I draw a midi track with the pencil.
* When I try to record the external kexboard in the Pianoroll or
Transport Panel, with or without the Midi Input button pressed, I do
not record or see any events.
* the same with the virtual keyboard in the Pianoroll
* But when I connect the same source with kmidimon or rosegarden in
qjackctl, I see the incomming midi events.

I have no other debug messages from muse -m, than this audio-related:
 DummyAudioDevice::seekTransport frame=211968 topos=0
trSeek
trStart
DummyAudioDevice::seekTransport frame=819200 topos=0
trSeek
trStart
DummyAudioDevice::seekTransport frame=164864 topos=0
trSeek
trStart

Any ideas, what could be wrong or what can I do?

Thanks.
