Greetings Oberhiemers,
I have a question: I recently dusted off my old oberheim matrix 6r and hooked it up
to ubuntu 10.04 with a Edirol UM-1SX MIDI Adapter. I got the JSynthLib 0.20
and ran it. The program seems to run, but it's not controlling the synth. The midi
cable is connected properly because I got Rosegarden talking to it. Sequences can
be recorded and played back. Also if I boot up Windows XP I can run MidiQuest 10 XL
and (it's buggy) but I can edit. So I think the hardware ports are working properly, but
what's wrong? Maybe I'm missing something in the Java Virtual Machine to talk
to the hardware? A java driver or something? I'm running ubu 10.04, with
the sun jvm 1.5 or 1.6 which I thought had the midi
drivers built in.
I'd be grateful for any troubleshooting ideas.
thx,
JC.
