I suspect that I need a "sound font" but I'm having trouble getting one installed. Thanx for responding. This is tricky!
Don't use qjackctl/jack to begin with. It'll get you mostly sorrows if you just want to play your keyboard. I've been doing oss/alsa/jack/pulseaudio in that order since late 90th and to understand linux audio/midi I recommend you to start with pure alsa-midi and not jack-midi.
If you are on tumbleweed you can now use Cadence / Jack over qjackctl / Jack. This will lead to a much better user experience. As a disclaimer I haven't used it with midi yet and I generally use it with a audio interface as a sound card. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
