MIDI questions: Local off? Auto-monitor selected MIDI track?
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 7:53 pm
Hi again, just some questions this time (not a bug ):
1) What is the menu entry "MIDI / Local off" good for? It does not show any effect.
2) Is there a feature like "MIDI monitor follows selected track"? This is what Cubase 2.x did in 1990 and I'm really missing this convenient feature. Disable here, enable there and back again, click click click click .... This is a minor-minor issue related to usability.
3) Is the initialization of an instrument limited to sysex? For example I want to send "local off" to my Korg stage piano and this is not sysex (b0 7a 00).
Alternate solution:
> sudo modprobe snd-virmidi midi_devs=1 index=10
> aconnect 'Virtual Raw MIDI 10-0' 'USB Midi Cable'
> amidi -p hw:10,0 -S b0 7a 00"
The virtual device is necessary because Jack/MusE blockes device 'USB Midi Cable'. Took me just one hour to figure this out. Sometimes being a Linux enthusiast is a bit difficult...
