Ah maybe this has something to do with why my USB keyboard controler isn't working. I have Linux Mint 13 installed with KXstudio repositories. When I shutdown my system I get a "Broken Pipe" message ass it turns off. Could this be it?

Well it appears I'm am still struggleing with this. I got it to work once but now I Can't figure it out. The rest of my system is working well. I turned off a bunch of BIOS powersaving stuff to get really low latency and can record 8 tracks at a time in Ardour with very few X-runs. But the MPK just ...

I kept messing with everything and then restarted my system and now it shows up in claudia and works with both synths! Not sure why. Thanks though.

I am trying to use Claudia. In it i see my Focusrite interface with the L R channels from amSynth and also zynaddsubfx connected to it. And I see a MIDI box for amSynth and a MIDI through box. Should I see anything else? When I try to connect the MIDI box to the synths i still do not get any sounds....

Just trying to use it with amSynth or zynaddsubfx or anything it will work with.

Dir Device Name
IO hw:2,0,0 Akai MPK25 MIDI 1
IO hw:2,0,1 Akai MPK25 MIDI 2
I hw:2,0,2 Akai MPK25 MIDI 3

So I guess it recognizes it. Thanks for the reply.

This may be a simple one but I am trying to get this to work with JACK in KXstudio but I can't figure it out. I started the ALSA MIDI bridge but I cant get the keyboard to control anything like synths or anything. I don't know if its seeing my MPK(hooked up thru USB). The tutorials on the internet a...

Wow you are right. Just by following instructions and resources I found here and at FFADO I just recorded a test track. That wasn't too difficult. Well now the journey begins! Thanks Linux Musicians!

I started running some live distros to try out some of the different options. I put in Ubuntu Studio 12.04 64bit and it didn't work for some reason. I got to the screen where you decide to try it without installing and it froze. Maybe the download didn't work and I should try again. I tried AVlinux ...

Hi I'm about to be a Linux Musician. I have used Ubuntu before and it was way cool. I finally got my stuff together and am building my portable recording studio. I got a Thinkpad T530 thats firewired to a Fucusrite Saffire Pro 40. Now I'm checking out different Linux distros (Mint, Ubuntu Studio, KX...
