No MIDI devices in wine
No MIDI devices in wine
I'd want to run the windows editor for my guitar preamp (VOX Tonelab SE)
which is connected to the MIDI in and out sockets of my soundcard. The
program installs and starts without any problems under wine but it can't
find any MIDI ports.
MIDI works fine otherwise in Linux - I can read from and write to the
sockets with arecordmidi and aplaymidi, but there are no MIDI devices
visible in winecfg. I can only see the Wave ins and outs of the
PulseAudio, Jack and Esound drivers in the audio tab (BTW, Pulse works
fine for me in wine).
I haven't fiddled with MIDI under wine for a long time now, but, if my
memory doesn't fool me, there used to be some MIDI devices.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Try opening the sound tab in winecfg. It'll create a ALSA-based default configuration for you, which might automatically find the right MIDI channels.
If it doesn't, try using a soft synth solution like timidity or qsynth. I think these automatically pick up on MIDI-supporting sound cards, too, plus extra MIDI channels that will definitely be detected by Wine will be exposed.

Re: No MIDI devices in wine
Pulseaudio knows nothing about MIDI and can't work with it. In Wine only ALSA backend driver supports MIDI.Klaus-Peter Schrage wrote:In winecfg's sound tab, there is no ALSA entry at all, perhaps that is part of the problem (I get sound in Wine through Pulseaudio).
You have to properly set everything up, including on the ALSA side too.Klaus-Peter Schrage wrote:And using a soft synth doesn't help, because I want to address the MIDI hardware of my soundcard.

sound in wine works via pulseaudio, and if I disable pa, the only sound

Re: No MIDI devices in wine
As I said, I believe timidity and fluidsynth actually do pick up on your hardware MIDI capabilities when they're found. They basically become a front-end / extra ports to access your MIDI from. Still, you're not seeing an ALSA entry and that's exactly your problem here.Klaus-Peter Schrage wrote:And using a soft synth doesn't help, because I want to address the MIDI
