Hi everyone,

I started a thread at linuxmusicians.com about midi connections and Csound (see here) but as I wasn't getting any responses, and as this mailing is probably the best place to ask these kinds of things anyway, I wanted to ask you all (those who are using linux obviously) about Csound (and also Cabbage), Jack and midi connections in general:

In general, to use synth plugins I use Jack for audio, and a2jmidid to connect the midi signals.

With Csound, I cannot use a2jmidid, as any instrument I run (I use the terminal) gives a "midi channel busy" error if I do.  This would seem to mean that, if I want to use Csound instruments at the same time I am using regular plugins, I can't.

From this scenario, a few more questions will come pertinent, but one thing at a time. 

Any help much appreciated! :)

I am not sure what aj2midi is, but Csound has two midi options on Linux alsa midi (raw,alsaseq) and portmidi. Jack midi has not been added to Csound (perhaps it should?)

Hi everyone and thanks for the help! :)  I'll try doing the -+rtmidi=alsa option and see how it behaves, then I'll post here what I find out.

A part of this whole issue is also finding out if I can connect a midi sequencer (ie. NonSequencer, QmidiArp) to the Csound instrument and control it that way.  (I know that I can make a score in Csound, but is there a way to modify the score in RT while it's playing?)

If you use a front-end like CsoundQT or Cabbage, they will let you select the MIDI drivers yourself.

I for one would very much welcome native Jack midi support in csound. I know there are the Jacko opcodes, but doing -+rtmidi=jack would just be that much more simple...

Jack MIDI works with the jacko opcodes.

I haven't used them for a while, but I did use them; I sent MIDI to
the Aeolus organ and received audio back.

I am attaching the piece to this email. It is written in Lua. I did
not start Aelous from within Csound, but I did start Aeolus from
within the piece. This was a delicate setup but it did end up working.
Note that using Lua and my own Score objects etc. made a lot of things
easier. The trickiest part was finding out the names of the Jack ports
so that I could connect them up with the Jacko opcodes, and finding
the best parameters for actually running the Jack daemon.

All this would be possible from within Csound, probably. The final
line of Lua code tells the Score object to run Csound. The silencio
library is available at https://github.com/gogins/silencio.

Mike

Hi Hlöðver,

I have the midi driver set to "none" at the moment. I'm not sure if this is the parameter to change. What does it do?

I tried setting -+rtmidi=alsa and I can open the instrument (either with or without this option, I experience no problems), but I still do not see it appear in the QJackCtl window, and I still cannot use a2jmidid.  I basically don't know where to "see" the Csound instrument connection.

I tried setting -+rtmidi=jack and I got the error: "error: -+rtmidi='jack': unknown module"

Hi Victor,

I tried both alsa raw and alsa seq, both with and without the a2jmidid script. The only way that I can connect midi to the instrument is without a2jmidid and without alsa raw or alsa seq.

Ok, I'll use alsa for midi. For the -M option, I have -Ma  just to be able to use this one synth for now. But in the Jack connections windows, Csound doesn't appear.

Regarding the software midi device, I'm not sure what you mean. Is there a specific app for linux that does this?

When I ran the modprobe command I got this:

brian@brian-kxstudio:~/MonoPolySynthIIPolyphony$ modprobe snd-virmidi
FATAL: Error inserting snd_virmidi (/lib/modules/3.8.0-32-lowlatency/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-virmidi.ko): Operation not permitted

You will need to select the midi input with -M n

where n is the specific midi input number,

if use 'a' it will listen to all midi devices.

You will need a software midi device, which you

always set up by loading the snd-virmidi device

modprobe snd-virmidi

. Then your

sequencer writes to it and Csound reads from it.

I tried the Jacko example which crashed on me, but I haven't tried the Jacko opcodes in any other capacity. 
However, keeping ksmps at 128, which seems to be one of the few that would work, is sometimes a bit limiting, I would think. Perhaps implementing "native" Jack midi would be slightly more versatile? Or is that limitation still there?

Anders

Thanks Forrest! :)  I used the sudo modprobe command, and it created 5 raw midi connections.  With the Jack Midi driver set to "none," I can see the new midi connections in the Alsa midi window.  (The aconnectgui was pretty useless unfortunately. I couldn't cut the connections that I had made!)

So, definitely some progress, although Qmidiarp wasn't communicating for some reason, so I still have to find out how to connect a sequencer..

I'll update after more testing..

I found some info about Jack Midi from the Non-Sequencer Manual, with the following:

Since Jack MIDI is new and not all programs support it, many find themselves confused. This section attempts to explain Jack MIDI ports. The ALSA sequencer interface has long been the standard MIDI routing subsystem on Linux. But many (all) of the programs we use for synthesis these days use Jack for their audio IO. It makes more sense for those MIDI related programs utilizing the Jack Transport for synchronization to also use Jack ports for MIDI delivery. Therefore, ALSA MIDI is quickly becoming obsolete. Jack MIDI ports are not related to ALSA MIDI ports in any way. Jack MIDI ports are just like Jack audio ports, except that the data being transmitted in each buffer are raw, timestamped MIDI events instead of floating point audio samples. Jack MIDI is sample-accurate. This means that a MIDI Note On event can occur concurrently with a sound, and the two will never drift apart as often happens to some extent with ALSA. In essence, Jack MIDI is a way of expressing a direct temporal correlation between audio and MIDI data. Note: Older versions of QJackCtl and other connection managers do not know about Jack MIDI ports. Please make sure you're using an up-to-date version. For example, to connect Non to ZynAddSubFX (the CVS version supports Jack MIDI), type the following into the shell: $ jack_connect Non:midi_out-1 ZynAddSubFX:midi_in Also, be sure that Zyn's outputs are connected to system:playback_* so that you can hear the sounds it produces. It is possible to use Jack MIDI clients and ALSA MIDI clients together via the bridge built into jackd. For this to work you must append the -X seq option to the alsa driver section of the jackd command line. Like so: $ jackd -d alsa -X seq The way such bridged ports are named varies between Jack versions, but they should be fairly obvious. When used in this way, many of the advantages of Jack MIDI are lost, so it is recommended that you find a Jack MIDI capable synth for best results.

I tried using the command line (part in bold above) but I got this error:

*** rtjack: buffer size (-B) is too small

I'm not sure I'm on the right track with all this yet though..

Hi everyone,

I started a thread at linuxmusicians.com about midi connections and Csound (see here) but as I wasn't getting any responses, and as this mailing is probably the best place to ask these kinds of things anyway, I wanted to ask you all (those who are using linux obviously) about Csound (and also Cabbage), Jack and midi connections in general:

In general, to use synth plugins I use Jack for audio, and a2jmidid to connect the midi signals.

With Csound, I cannot use a2jmidid, as any instrument I run (I use the terminal) gives a "midi channel busy" error if I do.  This would seem to mean that, if I want to use Csound instruments at the same time I am using regular plugins, I can't.

From this scenario, a few more questions will come pertinent, but one thing at a time. 

Any help much appreciated! :)

Yes, I did that, but the connections didn't get cut: left click, middle click, right click, nothing..

So, definitely some progress, although Qmidiarp wasn't communicating for some reason, so I still have to find out how to connect a sequencer..

if use 'a' it will listen to all midi devices.

You will need a software midi device, which you

always set up by loading the snd-virmidi device

modprobe snd-virmidi

. Then your

sequencer writes to it and Csound reads from it.
