Hopefully this is the right place for this, if not please direct me to an apropriate place.... I'm trying to setup my Suse (10.0) box to act as a soft synth for an external midi controller. I'm a bit confused about what I need to do this. I have found various apps for composition, sequencing, etc. but not great info on what I need and how to put it all together. at a basic level what I want is when a play a key on the external keyboard controller the box produces the corresponding pitch and selected instrument (sent by the control er with midi gs). How do I do this? what do I need? In basic terms, how can I debug a midi setup to verify each part is working. Does anyone know of a list that deals with issues found in the Linux midi studio? My setup is as follows: ~1GHZ P3, 1G RAM MIDISPORT UNO USB MIDI ADAPTER SUSE 10.0 (or 10.2 when released, Debian may also be an option) I believe I have rosegarden loaded but even when running the keyboard will not trigger synthesis, and rosegarden seems not to see note info so this could be a synthesis issue or an issue of interface setup.
