Hardware Midi on Linux with GZDoom

[Mr Bustah]

I've been trying to get gzdoom to see my UM-ONE Mk II but its not showing up in the settings like in windows. Midi playback with drumstick is fine so I know its working.

Hardware MIDI support isn't implemented in the Linux version.

 

There's no particular reason for that other than I never got around to doing it.  Then after I got more than 2GB of memory my EMU10K hardware synths stopped working due Linux trying to load the soundfont above the 2GB barrier and the chip not being able to address that.  (If this ever got fixed I can't tell since right now something is causing /dev/sequencer to not appear on my machine.)

Do any of the source ports on linux support hardware midi?

[Blzut3]

I don't have a list, but the ports that use PortMidi (Odamex is one example) should be able to do hardware midi if you can convince them to use the right midi device.

[Mr Bustah]

Well Linux builds now support Hardware MIDI :^)

Glad to see this had a happy ending.
