Peculiar MIDI Keyboard Issue

[zorbama]

Hello!
I have been using LMMS for some time now, and I like it a lot.
Recently, I purchased a Yamaha PSR-E433 digital keyboard, which I intend to use both as a standalone instrument and as a MIDI controller keyboard.
So far, I have been successful with connecting the keyboard and using it as a controller - save for one problem: I cannot get it to work with sf2 player!
When I try to use the keyboard to control other plugins, like zynaddsubfx and triple oscillator, there's no problem, but when I try to use sf2 player, there is no response whatsoever - no sound, no recording, nothing.
I tried to use the same soundfont in QSynth - and it works! What could be the problem?
I am using Linux Mint 16 32-bit Cinnamon edition, with LMMS 0.4.15. The soundfont I use was downloaded from the package fluid-soundfont-gm. I connect the keyboard with a regular USB. If there's any information missing, please tell me.
Thanks in advance!

IIRC this is a bug in 0.4.15 which should be fixed in the latest version.

If you're comfortable with compiling from source, you can get the latest source either from git://github.com/LMMS/lmms.git, the branch name is stable-0.4 - or alternatively, you can get a source tarball from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmms/f ... ms/0.9.90/ which is the first RC version for the coming release...

If you don't want to compile from source, then I'm afraid you'll just have to wait for the official release of 1.0.0 and for it to get packaged...

[zorbama]

I see. Thank you for the quick answer.
At the moment, no matter what I try, I run into errors while trying to install a newer version from source.
I might try some workarounds, or using rosegarden in the meantime.
Thanks again!

What kind of errors?

After following the instructions on https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling-lmms and getting to step 2 under "building on linux", this is what I get. I can't progress further with the steps in the site mentioned.

Have you installed all the dependencies?

[zorbama]

It would appear that I have missed a dependency. FFTW3. I can't seem to find it in the regular repositories, though. Any idea how I can get it?

The package you need is libfftw3-dev and should be found in the regular repositories.

[zorbama]

I see. Well, that seems to be installed. Then I believe I have all the dependencies. Still, I get the same errors.

[diiz]

Go to the build directory, and remove CMakeCache.txt, then try again.
