[PlanetCCRMA] midi and hydrogen

[Sean Linton]

hello there ,
i am wondering about getting midi going on my machine
I have tried using 'amidi' the simple cp app
but alas to no avail,
my command

 amidi -p hw:0,1 -r  Rain Storm 1.2.syx

has no results
also when I start Hydrogen
an error in the alsamidi setup shows as
