Note: This new MIDI support requires FS-UAE 3.9.0dev or newer.
Tested on Linux. TODO: Test on macOS and Windows and document with some examples.
You currently need to connect using the "name" of the sequencer with the option
serial_port = midi:<name>
.
You can run acconnect -o
to give a listing of ALSA MIDI sequencer names.
Example output while having both fluidsynth and munt/mt32 running:
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 128: 'FLUID Synth (11883)' [type=user,pid=11883]
0 'Synth input port (11883:0)'
client 129: 'Munt MT-32' [type=user,pid=11907]
0 'Standard
The names you need to use with the serial_port
option with this exact setup
is 'Synth input port (11883:0)' and 'Standard'.
The default fluidsynth sequencer name includes the process PID, which will
change each time fluidsynth is started. It is a good idea to run fluidsynth
with a static name, for example --portname=Fluidsynth
:
fluidsynth -a alsa -m alsa_seq -l -i /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 \
-s --portname=Fluidsynth
You can the use the option serial_port = midi:Standard
.
With mt32emu-qt
from Munt on Linux, use option serial_port = midi:Standard
to enable MIDI output via emulated serial port and route to the ALSA sequencer
set up by mt32emu-qt.
