First, I'd make sure that you're trying to run the alsa backend. Try to run with 'zynaddsubfx -I ALSA -O ALSA' . If you still get this error, then there's likely another application using the default ALSA device. You can check for this with 'lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*'. Using the alsa backend still ...

How do I get the alsa backend to work?

I keep getting: I'm on Gentoo with alsa-1.1.1.

I know this is a little old but have you tried Enlightenment 0.20.9. Memory footprint is small and speed is good. It has really good window management and developers have picked up the pace on bugfixes and releases. It does have a tiling option which I never tried if that's your preference.

Thanks fundamental!!! It worked!! Sorry I didn't catch the zynaddsubfx -P option. I'm back and forth on this computer and I just missed it.

Man sorry guys my brain is tired today but ok I'll give it a go and see if it works.

This is the command I'm using:

Is there a way to load midi learn files through cli with no gui? I see the .xmz and .xiz file load options but it doesn't show any midi learn files. At the moment there isn't a normal command line argument available. I've added a feature request to make sure that isn't the case in the future: https...

Edit: I changed the mpk port to 'MPK...1 in' instead of out and it connected. A lit...

Trying to connect using the aconnect command but it won't connect it. Am I using jack or alsa as input engine?

Ok sounds good. I have another question how would I start it with no gui and auto connect my MPK mini MIDI keyboard to zyn? I'm using JACK1.

Is there a wiki to how to set this up or does it just work after installed?

Fundamental, any idea of 2.5.2. release date? I'm thinking in the next two weeks or so. This would mean bumping a number of smaller bugs and (somewhat larger) feature requests to 2.5.3, but a release is overdue. Does midi serialization mean that those bindings are implementeded? Midi-learn save as ...

Cool tatch. It's appreciated that you're sharing what you've been working on.
