No MIDI_IN for Linux from FANTOM X - Help!

Post by OfficialStamper »

I am trying to make the switch from Windows to Linux Mint 20. But I cannot get MIDI_IN to work for my FANTOM X8.

My PC is currently dual boot between Win10 and Linux Mint 20, and everything works fine on Win10, but on Linux Mint 20, whilst USB Storage works fine and the FANTOM can receive MIDI, I cannot send MIDI from the FANTOM to the PC.

Not sure if this is a USB v1.10 issue (it should work), or something else, but if anyone has a working FANTOM X on Linux, please reach out.

Thanks

Some extra info:

I also have a Roland GAIA SH-01 which works fine. I tried cross connecting the MIDI ins and outs between the SH-01 and the FANTOM X8 in 'qjackctl' connections, and the connection from the FANTOM shows 'red'.

So, ALSA knows something is wrong with the FANTOM. Is there a log file, or config file I can check??
