I personally (as a RG developer) like this aspect; it means that you treat every synth in the same way and the program behaves more or less identically whether you're using soft synths or hardware synths. For a long time I've been moaning to people (and to the LAD list, on occasion) that I'd like to see a standalone GUI app specifically for managing soft synths: to me that would be better than doing so from within the sequencer. In the absence of such a thing, Rosegarden probably will acquire the ability to start and stop synths at some point. I'm not sure whether we'll ever go to the extent of running them in- process like (I think) MusE does. In principle LADCCA should take care of this kind of thing for you (restoring soft-synth connection state etc), but Rosegarden doesn't support it (or vice versa) yet. > you could only record one track at a time.
