Of course, change "THE_PLACE_..." with the real directory names ;-) I use aconnect to connect to my keyboard. It works very well, unless one thing: I don't know how to have the tremolo with timidity (fluidsynth does it). On the other side, timidity loads all the others GM sounds in the same time. So it's just lile classic timidity, plus my rhodes sounds at 000-000 to 000-004. bye.
