I don't know anything about amSynth, but I assume (from your description, mostly) that it's a soft-synth driven via the ALSA sequencer API. It isn't even clear to me yet whether you get sound output from Rosegarden if you aren't using the Evolution at all. I asked about this in a previous message on linux-audio-user, but I don't think you replied. What happens if you do this? -- 1. start amSynth 2. start Rosegarden 3. click-and-hold on the first track's label, and when the instrument popup appears, choose the first instrument on the amSynth device (unfortunately I don't know what the amSynth device will be called as it depends on the amSynth code, but it'll probably be the only device other than the Evolution's MIDI output) 4. create a segment on the first track 5. open the segment in the matrix editor 6. run the mouse up and down the piano-keyboard-thing shown in the matrix view -- do you get any sound? Also, try running the "rosegardensequencer" application from a separate terminal window and sending the output to us at rosegarden-user (cc'd here). That should show a list of the devices Rosegarden thinks you have present. Chris
