I've been able to get Rosegarden to work with timidity, but everything sounds like a piano :). I did some provisional searching of the archives and ran across a post from May suggesting that if I don't have a real hardware synth connected to the sound card I would run into trouble. But my sound card has an MPU-401 (SB Live Value) and some form of midi synth has been supported by Soundblaster cards for as long as I can remember. Here's what pmidi says: Port Client name Port name 64:0 EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 0 65:1 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 1 65:2 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 2 65:3 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 3 I admit being a little closer - at least I can have Rosegarden report that sound is OK, but still nothing comes out the speakers. BTW, last time I experimented with midi and Linux stuff (other than attempting to get it working with the current sound card) was with an older rev of Mandrake. > You'll also need a patch set or soundfont, sources are somewhere on this > list, > but your soundcard's driver CD should have some on it. I've managed to get that stuff as well. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
