I've just started fiddling around with LMMS on Ubuntu Linux. I don't want to buy hardware yet but would like to play instruments and samples with an external MIDI controller rather than with the Piano Roll.
Hoped, I could use my Android (6.0) tablet with an appropriate app for that. So I installed TouchDAW (free version), plugged the tablet via USB into my laptop and activated the "MIDI" option from the upper Android pull menu.
In LMMS, I picked the "MIDI input" and "MIDI output" options for the instrument track in concern. While the LMMS interface recognized my Android device as potential MIDI device, I could not make it actually work. In TouchDAW on the tablet I took the Keyboard view, but the pressed keys would not be recognized in LMMS on the Ubuntu laptop.
How can I use my Android device as a (simple) MIDI controller / keyboard with LMMS on Ubuntu?

does not show events with the tablet while it shows events when the phone is plugged in. But, it plays notes not on keyboard keys but when I press any control keys ... – Bunjip Jan 2 '18 at 19:54
