Docs & MIDI - no MIDI messages. #43

Open globetrotterdk opened 2 years ago

globetrotterdk commented 2 years ago

Under "Using /dev/umidi* - Testing", an explaination is needed as to what to do to diagnose if no MIDI messages appear on the terminal, despite positive output of #doas dmesg | tail and $ ls /dev/ | grep umidi.

Likewise, it should be noted that the command "fluidsynth -m oss -a oss SoundFont.sf2" kicks up an error as fluidsynth is not shipped with a soundfont and is looking for one at (which doesn't exist): /usr/local/share/soundfonts/default.sf2 While soundfonts reside in: /usr/local/share/sounds/sf2/ as per: # pkg install fluid-soundfont An explaination is needed as how to get fluidsynth to look in the correct place...

Hi probonopd. I am just a new FreeBSD user trying to help the cause - just the messenger. I don't know how to fix the issues.
