JJazzlab / virtual MIDI port installation under Linux

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
