Thanks a lot for LMMS, I am a former Cakewalk, Cubase and Ableton convert and getting fluent with it very quickly!

Hello
I was wondering if you could help me as I am trying to setup a very setup config to your but I cannot get the midi to work properly. I have a Yamaha NP11 piano with midi in & out. In & out go to Out and In on the UMC 204HD.

The UMC 204HD Midi IN LED is always RED whilst the Midi OUT flickers green when LMMS is able to send information to the piano.

My config is :
[codeuser1@user1-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:~$ uname -a
Linux user1-HP-EliteBook-840-G2 5.8.0-41-generic #46~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 18 17:52:23 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
user1@user1-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards

There are a few things I don't understand on the system.
1. Should it be possible to record from the piano to LMMS?
2. Should the midi setup have a similar list of devices as the audio card menu?
3. The instrument MIDI IN check box is always greyed even when I click it on. Do you know if this is normal?

Any help would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance

trying to setup a Yamaha NP11 piano with midi in & out.

It should work, but the sequence of connections and power-up is important!

Hi,
i would like to report that the TIE MIDI USB 1i10 INTERFACE works!

By the way, the wiki and Documentation is a bit confusing. :0
What i do not understand, why do have a program with the name
" Linux MultiMedia Studio" do only have a discription in the wiki to make things working in Windows?!

Lets help other people:

open a terminal
#uname -a
Linux Jonas-pc 5.10.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.13-1 (2021-02-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux
(this is a Debian Bullseye)

#cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xe3000000 irq 38
1 [U0x46d0x809 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x809
USB Device 0x46d:0x809 at usb-0000:00:1d.7-4, high speed
2 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xe1040000 irq 39
3 [AUDIO ]: USB-Audio - USB AUDIO
USB AUDIO at usb-0000:00:1d.2-1, full speed
4 [Interface ]: USB-Audio - USB MIDI Interface
USB MIDI Interface at usb-0000:00:1a.2-2, full speed

So to make the MIDI to USB Dongel working in lmms, you have in this case set the midi settings to ALSA Raw-MIDI and into the Device i have to write "hw:Interface"

Thats it.

After closing lmms and restart it works like a charm.

Thank you for this great peace of sw!

Best regards,

Dieter

Very fine info! I will let put it into the pipeline for the new gitBook
Thank You.

Hehe.. Its a loooooong story and today LMMS is a brand, it really does not 'stand' for anything. I favour to see it as a 'sound', so et goes el-le-ments :)
"Leisure Music Maker Studio" is used too :p
