Musescore | Yamaha PSR-E353 Keyboard | Ubuntu 16.04
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2016 2:04 am
The sage fellows a the Craigs List Linux forum directed me here.
This duplicates my thread by the same title there and in the Musescore forum
======
I am endeavoring to connect a brand new Yamaha PSR-E353 keyboard to Musescore under Ubuntu 16.04
My immediate goals are note input and score playing through the Yamaha. Later I would like to learn midi basics.
After connecting the keyboard to the computer Musescore did not recognize the keyboard notes..
Under 15.04 I installed whatever drivers that were needed to run VMPK. I am assuming they survived the upgrade.
So, I think I have the needed drivers for the Yamah? But, I do not know how to confirm that.
I found several discussions for connecting Yamaha keyboards and Linux OS's but I could not determine the paths or outcome in those discussions.
So. Is what I am trying to accomplish possible?
If so what do I need to do to get to my goal?
All guidance will be appreciated.
Some updates
I "found" function 32 PC mode.
I believe I have toggled it correctly because the display show PC1, and the keys are dead.
sudo lsusb shows Ubuntu 16.04 recognizes the keyboard.
Last
musescore is already the newest version (2.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1)
Next I am wondering about the sound server settings in Ubuntu and Musescore.
It seems like something is not connecting internally?
