I cannot use MIDI with "csound6~".
Warning message is following.

"WARNING: midi disabled (launch with '-+rtmidi=null -M0' to enable)"

I wrote "-+rtmidi=null -M0" in csound csd file. Why?

I use MIDI.pd and midi.csd file.

I use Debian Linux Box.

I would like to use VMPK(VIRTUAL MIDI PIANO KEYBOARD) with Pure Data.

I am learning Csound with tutorial videos in Youtube.

Tutorial 10 use Pure Data with Csound file and MIDI Keyboard.

Csound file in Tutorial 9 is need in tutorial 10.

But I don't have real MIDI keyboard. So, I would like to use VMPK.

I can play with VMPK in csoundqt with tutorial9 csound file.

But I cannto play with VMPK in Pure Data.

How can I use VMPK with Pure Data?

I use Debian Linux(version Sid).

Thank you very much for your help.

I don't know any tutorial books, per say, but I recommend looking up books on foley. Foley is the art of creating sound effects. A good book on the subject is "Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema" by David Sonnenschein.

Thank you very much for your help.
I'll read it.

Now I can use VMPK with Alsa.

I read http://vmpk.sourceforge.net/#MIDI_concepts, and I understand how to do with Alsa. The "aconnect" is a tool like qjackctl.

0. I install aconnectgui.

1. Pure Data Menu: Media -> Alsa

2. Pure Data Menu: Media -> Alsa-MIDI

3. I use aconnectgui, then I connect "MIDI Through Port-0 output" to "Pure Data Midi-in 1".

Thank you very much!

Thank you for you advice.

I try to use jack, and I can use VMPK and Pure Data with Jack.

I would like to use VMPK with Pure Data without Jack.

Can I use VMPK with Pure Data with Alsa in Linux?
