Just enter a few chords and get a backing band to practice? Try JJazzlab. These short instructions describe how to get a permanent MIDI connection device under Linux.
- Unpack the archive to a location with write privileges if you like (JJazzlab can apply updates itself)
- Add the following line to
/etc/modules
:snd-virmidi
- Create the file
/etc/modprobe.d/snd-virmidi_options.conf
with the content:options snd-virmidi midi_devs=1
- Reboot
- Start JJazzlab
- Under options configure JJazzlab to use “VirMIDI” as MIDI out

- You can now use the output “Virtual Raw MIDI 0-0 16: VirMIDI 0-0″ to connect a soundfont / synthesizer
