When you say "in the sequencer configuration section", do you mean it's listed as a command-line option in the sequencer section of the Rosegarden GUI's configuration dialog? If so, that would be quite strange, because the Rosegarden sequencer doesn't expect that argument at all. (It's a familiar option to me because fluidsynth uses it, but Rosegarden won't understand it.) Try removing it and starting again. That aside, the usual way to resolve problems of this sort is to try running the "rosegardensequencer" binary from the command-line on its own, without running the GUI. It should print more diagnostic information that way. If you still have trouble with this, perhaps try asking on the rosegarden-user mailing list. > How would I go about getting softsynths to work? With Rosegarden, you should be able to simply select any running alsa-sequencer-interface-driven soft synth as an output wherever you like. Rosegarden doesn't host synths for you, it just talks to any that you have already running (or that you start up while Rosegarden is running). The synths themselves (timidity, fluidsynth, zynaddsubfx etc) can generally produce output either directly or through JACK; the former obviously limits you to running one at a time, but it's simpler for initial diagnostic purposes. Either way you will probably need to disable aRts. Chris
