I'm trying to use a hardware keyboard (the Arturia KeyStep Pro) as a MIDI controller via USB in my digital audio workstation (Bitwig) under Ubuntu 22.04. So far, it's not working, and I'm not certain it's sending MIDI data at all.
lsusb
recognizes the device:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1c75:0218 Arturia KeyStep Pro
amidi -l
recognizes it as an ALSA device:
IO hw:2,0,0 KeyStep Pro MIDI 1
arecordmidi -l
gives the output:
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
24:0 KeyStep Pro KeyStep Pro MIDI 1
I've gotten a bit confused between JACK, ALSA, and the rest of the acronyms and utilities whose functions I only half-understand. Can anybody help (1) verify that the device is in fact sending MIDI via USB, and (2) help me get Bitwig to recognize the MIDI notes the device is sending?
