Simple way to connect midi keyboard to pulseaudio without gui












0















I need a simple way to connect the midi keyboard to pulse audio and leave it active. (I am a complete beginner, so i'm not worried about low latency.)



So far, I've looked at Ted's Linux MIDI Guide and followed all of that, but I reverted to normal latency kernel, when the low-latency caused trouble with my input devices. Following Ted's instructions, I can run /usr/bin/audio start and then the vmpk script, which is nice, but then I can't use pulse (for watching tutorial on youtube.)



Is it best in the long run to use jack audio for everything, even on a normal 250hz kernel? Thank you.
