Dear community,
I have qjackctl, qsynth and qtractor running.
I've connected my midikeyboard (via aconnect) to qtractor and qtractor's midi output to qsynth.
Unfortunately, I can't hear a sound nor does qtractor record incoming midi inputs.
How can I change this?
re. no sound, although made all connections
1. add a new qtractor/midi track;
2. connect your midi keyboard to qtractor/midi master in.;
3. connect qtractor/midi master out to qsynth midi in;
4. arm the midi track for recording (track button [R]);
5. play on midi keyboard; check activity on qtractor/mixer midi track and then via master out to qsynth;
6. set record ready (main red circle button);
7. hit play (main blue triangle button): recording starts;
8. play your part on the midi keyboard; check that notes are draw on midi track (growing red shaded region);
9. hit play again or stop when satisfied; rewind;
10. hit play; playback starts; you should hear your part on qsynth;
which of the above steps doesn't work as you say?
cheers
re. no sound, although made all connections
Thanks for Your reply!
I've added a new track.
Midi kayboard is connected to qtractor midi in, qtractor's midi out is connected to qsynth, I've pressed the R-button. I play on the keyboard, but I can't hear anything. But I don't know how I can "check activity on qtractor/mixer midi track and then via master out to qsynth", maybee You could give me a hint!
Thanks, stefan

open up the mixer window (menu View/Windows/Mixer or press F9) and watch for any change on midi master and track strip meters. if you don't see it it's because there's no midi flow coming in or through.
please note that midi channel must match to midi track's one. also, check whether monitor is set for the track (track/auto-monitor might come in handy here).
cheers

Thanks, auto-monitor did the trick for me!
re. no sound, although made all connections
Sorry,
it worked fine, but, after editing the clip (I've changed some durations) I couldn't hear any sound!
What's wrong here?
re. no sound, although made all connections
take care of the midi channel for which the midi track is assigned--events will playback on that channel number only; if you connect midi master out to qsynth then check which instrument preset is mapped to that midi channel (check qsynth/channels)
byee
