I think the synth is listening : I set up Jack Keyboard to the same channel on the synth. And what really worries me about is the fact of USB Interface not blinking the MIDI output status light. So it seems the interface is not receiving any data from the computer. A few days ago I connected the same USB interface to my Smartphone (Android 6). I installed a simple MIDI program and the synth received the messages. Man, I'm so sad about it, because my band has some shows scheduled and I was coding something, based on Jack Keyboard source code, to send SysEx messages to the synth, to make the performance even easier. -- Marcel Bonnet
