Once I solve this I want to try the standalone Yoshimi
don't know if this is of any help to you, krsgrdn, but i have just had
some success with rg and yoshimi after considerable fiddling (due to my
own ignorance about all this). i posted how i did it on linuxmusicians:
https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24573&p=145728#p145728
Thanks, I looked at it and I sometimes lurk on that forum too but my problems
are before that stage so to speak. Found the Yoshimi.rgd but I have no
~/.local/share/rosegarden/library folder to put it into. I'm working with Suse
Tumbleweed right now using Yoshimi-2.2.0 and rosegarden-22.06 which are both
bleeding-edge. So, following my usual procedure
1 start qjackctl
2 start qsynth
3 start yoshimi standalone
I can fiddle with yoshimi and even load a patch and play its virtual keyboard.
I could do exactly the same with Zybaddsubfx standalone but will now just keep
things simple, so
4 start rosegarden
In the qjackctl 'connect' window Yoshimi is connected to system, I also connect
it to rosegarden (probably not needed).
As a result there is no trace of yoshimi anything in rosegarden. The rosegarden
"Manage MIDI Devices" window shows only a single General MIDI entry in the left
Playback window and in MIDI-Outputs only two input ports as being available: 129:0
Synth-Input and 14:0 Midi-Through. There SHOULD be another port there for each standalone
synth started, such as yoshimi OR zynadsubfx, as soon as I start Yoshimi but there isn't.
THIS is my problem at this point (as far as I can tell).
If I recall correctly, I had to start Yoshimi with the -A and -j options:
-A, --alsa-audio[=<device>] Use ALSA audio output.
-j, --jack-midi[=<device>] Use JACK MIDI input.
But I was just now fiddling with things with RG 22.12 (freshly compiled)
and Yoshimi 2.2 (freshly compiled) and I'm not seeing Yoshimi in RG
although I can get sound from Yoshimi playing it's virtual keyboard or
using my external keyboard.
I seem to have lost my audio device somewhere in this process. I should
never have tested pipewire - it messed things up and even uninstalling
it and removing config hasn't fixed it.
