If you send in windows<br>> MIDI to your SB Live, it'll produce GeneralMidi synthesizer sounds. I don't<br>> know how this works in details, i guess in some cases it is simply a<br>> software synthesizer in the driver. Probably some soundcards have this<br>> capability built into the hardware. The fact, that you don't hear anything<br>> in linux, when sending MIDI from pd, doesn't mean, that your Pd MIDI doesn't<br>> work, it simply means, that you're lacking a similar setup with some kind of<br>> synth. There are a lot of synths available also in linux, you might find<br>> one, that suits your needs. You would then need to connect Pd to 'yourSynth'<br>> in the connection window in the MIDI tab.<br><br>Now I listen also MIDI notes, and this is due to a connection between "puredata" and "timididy" in "Alsa" window of qjackctl.<br><br>But I have a little *problem*:<br>- if I make a patch to generate midi notes repeated, with a metro (for example [metro 200]) I listen the rithm irregular (instead in Windows -on the same pc- the rithm is perfect..)<br>-if in the same patch I change [metro 200] in [metro 10] the midi notes output goes in crash, is'n possible play midi notes speadily (instead in Windows this is possible).<br><br>Any suggestion for this problem?<br>Thanks,<br>c<br><br>P.S.: my o.s. is Mandriva 2010.0<br><br>:)<br><br><br> <br /><hr />Crea e condividi i tuoi filmati con <a href='http://www.windowslive.it/moviemaker.aspx' target='_new'>Movie Maker</a></body>
