JACK MIDI Routing
This test case tests that PipeWire can support JACK applications with MIDI routing.
Setup
- This test case should be performed on a bare machine.
- The computer must be equipped with a sound device.
- Install a desktop version of Fedora 34 (or later).
- Log in as a common user.
- Install the
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit
package. Using the--allowerasing
option might be necessary for successful installation. - Install the
yoshimi
andqjackctl
packages. - Connect a USB MIDI keyboard to your computer.
- Connect your speakers (headphones) to the default sound device.
How to test
- Start Yoshimi
yoshimi
. - Start QJackCtl
qjackctl
. - Go to QJackCtl and click on the Graph button to open Jack connections.
- Find yoshimi in the graph and make sure that its output (right side of the icon) is connected to the system’s playback slots.
- If not, create a connection to send Yoshimi’s output to the system playback device.
- Also, create a connection between your MIDIkeyboard MIDI output and Yoshimi’s MIDI input.
- Play some tones on the MIDI keyboard.
Expected results
- QJackCtl and Yoshimi start successfully.
- Connections exist on the Graph tab of QJackCtl or they can be successfully created there.
- Yoshimi produces audible sounds through the connected sound device.
