Hello. I have LMMS and QjackCtl on Linux and need to use a midi keyboard in LMMS. The keyboard appears only in QjackCtl and only in ALSA tab. LMMS doesn't see the keyboard. How to configure LMMS and QjackCtl for it?

You need to click on the menu of the instrument that u want to control (the menu is the gear icon), go to MIDI>Input, and select ur MIDI controller. You might have to close and re-open LMMS to get it to show up.

On another notebook with Debian (screenshots were from AltLinux) LMMS sees the keyboard, and QJackCtl shows a connection between it and LMMS TripleOscillator on MIDI tab. But there is no any sound after selection of TripleOscillator and pressing a key on midi keyboard. In LMMS audio and midi drivers are selected as Jack, in QjackCtl midi-driver is selected as seq (i tried raw too). In LMMS i tried to select ALSA drivers and others but there is no sound after pressing a key on midi-keyboard in any combination.

I see. Midi kbd is one of basic functionality of DAW, LMMS is a LINUX DAW, and connection of a midi kbd to it is still a puzzle.

No. LMMS plays a note when you press a key on computer's kbd. So, i can check it.
