- Insert module manually, only since the 3.19 kernels and following:
# modprobe snd_seq_midi
- Check loaded USB Midi module:
# lsmod | grep usb
- Check your hardware, for presence:
$ lsusb $ amidi -l $ aconnect -i or aconnect lio
- Check your hardware, for actual input:
aseqdump -p ##
(where you should replace ## with the client number of your keyboard from aconnect -i)
- Create connection in patchage:
$ a2jmidid -e
(After starting jack)
USB-Midi Hardware
The Ubiquitous Korg:
http://www.korg.com/us/products/controllers/nanokontrol2/ 0944:0117 KORG, Inc. nanoKONTROL2 MIDI Controller
The Korg Setup software is an .exe, but works with wine
The Hungarian Pedal:
http://www.ebay.fr/usr/guitar.fun.stuff?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
- is on the Linux-USB list of vendor IDs
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
as:
05e4 Free shared USB VID/PID pair for MIDI devices
and returns here as it should as:
ID 16c0:05e4 Van Ooijen Technische Informatica Free shared USB VID/PID pair for MIDI devices
The short manual on the ebay page reads as follows:
Plug and play, no driver or installation needed. Just plug it into a free USB slot and your OS will recognize it.
Choose USB Midi device in your software settings and you're ready to go.
Two controller mode:
* Mode 1: Changing whole presets. The controller sends program change messages.
The LEDs indicates which preset is working.
* Mode 2: To activate this mode, press buttons 2&3&4. To change back to mode 1, press buttons 1&2&3
(All LEDs will blink for half a second to indicate this).
In mode 2 the controller sends control change messages. It allows you turn functions/effects on and off individually.
The LEDs indicate their status.
In mode 2, press a button for 10 seconds to switch to momentary mode. (All LEDs will blink for half a second to indicate this).
It allows you to use non-on/off functions like 'previous/next preset', 'tape deck play' etc.
The LEDs do not light up in momentary mode since it's unnecessary.
External pedal input. You can connect any standard pedal with a 6.3mm (¼ inch) stereo jack. Using an “insert” or “Y-shaped” cable.
To use the full range of the pedal you may have to calibrate it.
Calibration: Step 1:turn the pedal to minimum position and press button 1 AND button 3.
(All LEDs will blink for half a second to indicate this).
Step 2:turn the pedal to maximum position and press button 1 AND button 4.
(All LEDs will blink for half a second to indicate this)
The device will save the calibration data so you only have to do it once.

- The Full Monty: HugarianPedal + IDJC + D::Light
0. Set your pedal's keys to Note/Momentary as described above.
1. Create connection in patchage:
$ a2jmidid -e
(After starting jack, by, i.e., starting idjc already. It doesn't matter, you'll just restart it later. This is needed to provide midi input to IDJC)
2. Start qmidiroute and either create the inputs/outputs pairs needed like this, or load them if you already did it: (This is to "speak" a language D::Light understand, since it doesn't do Go on CC, and receive all 4 PC from the pedal as the same event)
Set input to "controller" Set Channel to 1 / 16 Set Controller to 0 / 96 (that is the value of the first button) Leave value to 0 / 127 Set output to "Note" Set Channel Offset to 0 Set Note Offset to 0 Set Velocity at 0 / 127 Leave ALSA port to 1 Hit "Duplicate" and do the same with Controller to "97" Save your map!
In D::Light / Setup, refresh with the blue arrows the Midi section and select "Out1" In D::Light / Midi, you should see the output when you hit button 3 or 4 of the pedal; assign them as you wish.
