I can get data off the /dev/midi but the usual alsa-seq support doesn't work anymore and I can't figure out why. It won't work on either my laptop or my desktop Im not sure if the keyboard is bad it seems like I wouldn't be able to get any input from it if that were the case. Maybe this is something trivial can someone help me out?

Give LMMS version (built from source?) and OS (more specific than Linux) please. Has it worked for you with LMMS before?

Try this in the terminal as a normal user. not root.
"aconnect -i" to list MIDI input ports (without the quotation marks.)
Then "aseqdump -p ##" where you should replace ## with the client number of your keyboard
You should see "##:0 Active Sensing" When you press a key you should get a response.
This just checks the connectivity of your keyboard in relation to ALSA.
