Midi output problem New user of LMMS

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Hi

I am new to this forum
I am hoping that I will be able to get help using LMMS

I want to record external midi sound modules into LMMS

So far I can get keyboard to play LMMS internal sounds ok

What I am having difficulty with is getting LMMS to play my sound modules
via midi.
I can set input device/keyboard ok but when I set midi channel output
for channel output 1 LMMS will send midi note for a few seconds before
crashing.
I have tried setting input midi keyboard to default of no midi channel
and output midi channel to 1 or 2 with the same result of LMMS crashing.
after a few seconds

I have tried setting input keyboard to a midi channel 1 and output mid
channel to 1 2 4 5 and on up to 16 but LMMS will crash

I am using the default preset in song mode and trying to get midi output
channels to play my sound modules

Any help would be great!
Thanks

Lmms does not have sound recording yet. There are two different way of capturing notes in lmms:
* capture midi-events

Shown for Beat&Bass

*Building wave-files from existing note-structures in song-editor
This feature is under development, and only available in RC5&6

Great! that is often an issue, due to differences in midi-kb HW.

Here i step out :p - I do not own any midi device -sorry
Hi
Thanks for your reply

! looked at YouTube link .. not really what I'm trying to figure out please
LMMS has midi output yes? LMMS has separate channel midi output
from midi channel 1-16 yes?

Therefore it would be logical to think that
LMMS can send note on/note off message via midi output to external
Midi devices set to receive note on/note off message on channels 1-16

I have managed to get this to happen but only for a few seconds before
LMMS crashes.

Is there a way of having user blank preset in song mode? Because I think
what is happening is the default loaded preset or any of the presed you
can load will send out and receive midi note simultaneously thus a loop
is creating feedback and the system will crash.

But then it occurs to me if LMMS has midi output channes 1-16 what are
they there for??
Perhaps it is not implemented yet? I can't believe that no-one has not used
this feature?

Hope someone will be able to shed some light on this?

Thanks
