I've stepped myself through the MIDI documentation: https://lmms.io/documentation/Using_MIDI. But can't seem to get my Williams Allegro piano hooked up to LMMS via a Fore HiFing USB MIDI connector (using Ubuntu 18.04). I've searched the forums and google and most answers point back to the MIDI documentation. I am totally new to this.
I've selected ALSA-Sequencer in the MIDI Settings and restarted LMMS.
I've plugged in the MIDI cables and USB cable to both keyboard and laptop.
I've powered on my keyboard, set it to Local Off (From the Allegro manual: Turning the Local On/Off function to “Off ” will disconnect the keyboard from the internal sound engine of the piano. The Allegro may then be used as a MIDI controller to control other MIDI devices or virtual instrument software running on a computer, without playing the sounds on the piano.)
I've launched LMMS, found the TripleOscilator, enabled MIDI and selected the USB MIDI Interface: MIDI Interface USB 1.
From the youtube videos I've watched, I expect to be able to hear notes when I play keys on the keyboard. Not happening. If I use my mouse to click keys in the virtual keyboard I hear notes.
What am I doing wrong, are there more in depth troubleshooting steps?
EDIT: I've also verified that the USB connection is recognized by the OS.
