Midi device problem

[barisurum]

Hi
I have a problem with midi sound. The ALSA or others dont recognize the midi of my soundcard. There is no midi device to select.
When I try Kmid to play a mid file it says: dev/snd/seq no such file or directory.
How can I install a midi sequencer device to the system?
My soundcard is a AC97.
Please help, Im a newbie and I really need the midi.

Hi,

In one of your previous threads, I suggested running timidity to create a MIDI device which other apps could use. Try putting this line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local (you'll need to be logged in as root):

timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 2>&1 &

What apps are you trying to use MIDI through?

Yes it worked that time. But now it says dev/snd/seq no such file or directory now what can I do?.
I study musical composition and I want to use Noteedit or denemo with Lilypond engraver to produce sheet music.

Ah, I understand. You're going to need to do 2 things at startup:

modprobe snd-seq

followed by

timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 2>&1 &

I would just put both of those in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file (at the end) then reboot the machine and see if they start on boot. You'll need to be logged in as root or su to do that.

Good luck!

hi,

I am having a similar problem and it seems that something has changed with the module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3.i386 package in the FC3 distribution. I do not have any modprobe executable and was not able to perform the above mentioned steps, please help me here!

EDIT: OK I found it. It's in /sbin/.
