Hi kerl, I'v tested this midi editor with an external keyboard on artful aardvark.

Thanks Smithy. Midi files are silent on your Aria pet. I tried with music2go-artful and bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.
Did I need to install some other package?

Been playing with aria. If I play using the external keyboards sound set then no problem.
You would need fluidsynth or timidity to get local playback.
It failed to pick up my fluidsynth install. I am guessing its expecting different paths or perhaps library versions.
Puppy does not have midi support as default which includes needing a soundfont pack.

Yes, to tell truth, that App is a bit rudimentary I thought, needs more effort by the author to get it acting multitimbrally for instance (There was some dialogue came up and said not implemented).
Ok for writing a few lines from an external keyboard...
You can play Midi files From Music2go Artful automatically (does it via XMPlayer), and there is a mixer to adjust levels, mute parts, change tempo etc within that programme. But no editing.
To bring the mixer up: Right Click, Options and Stuff/plugins/input/midi/config/mixer.
If I could get Qtractor to do them, then I suggest that would be much better, but it is a bit of a pain at the moment with Fluidsynth or Timidity! Ideally, it would be nice to just load a Midi file and it routes it all inc prg change sysex etc, plus the sounds of course.
