------- Additional Comments From shacklein@gmail.com 2007-05-06 21:17 ------- I have been trying to find out more about this problem and it is not easy. What would be useful is some way to show what sequencer client/port Wine is connected to.
The application I am running seems to detect SOME midi support, but I have not been able to discover what it is connecting to. I'm guessing that it's connecting to the first one it finds (ALSA 16:0) which as far as I can tell is my soundcard's Gameport connector. I want it to be connected to 17:0, which is the hardware Wavetable synthesiser.
Here is clarification of what I want to do: Windows provides a built-in software midi synthesiser. Obviously this is not something that Wine should implement, but what would be nice is a way to tell Wine which clients/ports are available for internel synthesising (that would be played through the sound card), and which are available for connecting external synthesisers (e.g., an external MIDI keyboard).
