I am intending to get familiar with Yoshimi, if only because I've heard that a lot of work has gone into it and the sounds are great. > >> Unfortunately the MIDI device manager (Studio > Manage MIDI Devices) > >> doesn't seem to report if a 'Playback' Rosegarden MIDI device is > >> connected to multiple ALSA inputs. > >> > >> However you could check this with something like QJackCtl via its > >> connections tab (or graph in most recent versions is the default). > >> > >> Here is a screenshot of how the connections could look like in a > >> situation which could be similar to what you describe, where Rosegarden > >> would be sending MIDI to both Fluidsynth with a general midi soundfont > >> and Hydrogen together, thus you hearing both sounds: > >> > >> https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/a9PBRwnxWq1L.png?o=1 > > > > I ususally leave qJackctl do the auto connections, as > > shown in the snapshot. > > I'm wondering if in your case there's some levels of 'auto' connections > / wizardry going on which essentially ends up connecting the output > meant for Hydrogen to QSynth as well? > > I _think_ Rosegarden tries to re-connect stuff when you load a saved > file and that has messed up my connections a few times. > > Typically I've found out that the best approach is to start Rosegarden > *first*, load the file and _then_ load external synths like QSynth, > Yoshimi etc. I've been doing it the other way around: qjackctl, qsynth, hydrogen, maybe Zynn or Yoshimi, and last RG probably because of the auto connections! ... > > I reported it way back when.

NO, last time I ran into it it was mid way, the track just hung on the last note played.
