I have a roll up piano (see the image) that has an USB output.
An USB cable comes with it: it is able to connect the roll up piano with the computer.
Is there any way to record MIDI using the roll up piano, the USB cable and the computer (that runs Ubuntu)? Is a MIDI cable really required if I have the USB one?
What are the steps to record MIDI on Ubuntu using the roll up piano and the USB cable?
The output of arecordmidi -l
:
# no cable is connected (after fresh restart)
$ arecordmidi -l

I tried to use QJackCtl and some other applications to make the connections:
arecordmidi -l
?aseqdump -p 20:0
show anything? If yes, just run a sequencer.Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.
, but no output when pressing the keys. Hey, are you Clemens Ladisch, the creator ofarecordmidi
? :-) If you solve my problem, I will give you more points! :-D
