Hi,
I have successfully installed my MIDI controller on Ubuntu Mate:
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 20: 'MidiSport 2x2' [type=kernel,card=1]
0 'MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 1'
1 'MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 2'
However that hardware is not seen by my app Midisoft Studio 4 on freshly installed Wine 10.
Has anyone got a clue on what is missing to see the MIDI device from Wine?

Re: MIDI controller installed on Ubuntu Mate not seen by Wine Studio4
It sounds like you’ve made good progress getting your MIDI controller set up on Ubuntu Mate, so kudos for that! MIDI devices and Wine can sometimes be a bit tricky, especially with older software like Midisoft Studio 4.
From what I’ve seen, Wine doesn’t always handle MIDI devices natively, and it might require some additional configuration. One thing you could try is using QjackCtl or QASeq to bridge the connection between your MIDI controller and Wine. These tools can help route MIDI signals to Wine applications more effectively.
Another approach is to check if your MIDI device is properly recognized by ALSA or JACK. If it is, you might need to configure Wine to use ALSA or JACK as the MIDI backend. You can do this by tweaking the Wine settings or using a tool like WineASIO if your setup supports it.
Lastly, double-check if Midisoft Studio 4 has any specific MIDI settings or requirements that might need to be adjusted within Wine. Sometimes older software expects specific MIDI drivers or configurations that aren’t enabled by default.
If you’ve already tried these steps or run into any specific errors, feel free to share more details, and I’m sure the community can help troubleshoot further. Good luck, and I hope you get it working soon!
