      Greetings Dokhanchi,



i have a very simple windows file player that i wrote. it does not use

the windows multimedia api directly so it is subject to timing

variations if other window stuff is going on. it might be worth

testing just to see if you can access devices etc? i have a feeling

that the problem is the way the hardware devices are accessed and this

one will probably not work either but is worth a test???



i think i remember trying it on a Mac running parallels but i might be

imagining this?



i also have a virtual keyboard that sends midi data which i use a a

simple test to find midi devices etc. if this doesn't work then it is

probably a device registration problem.



you can get both programs on the following page, please let me know if

anything works. i might be interested in dumping windows but have too

much MIDI stuff working? with it.

>> I finally got tired of Windows and installed Ubuntu Linux on my old laptop I use to play midi files on my Yamaha Disklavier III. When I had windows, I used Van Basco's Software and added songs from the hard drive to the play list and pushed play. The midi played on the piano. I had bought a $10 midi cable like this one

>> from Ebay and everything was working great. Now I have the same hardware (cable and computer) but different software. Can anyone point me to the right direction of how to get everything to work again please? The midi's are playing through laptop's speakers but nothing going through the cables to the Disklavier. Please help, I hate to be going back to Windows.
