The fact that you have Planet CCRMA packages is really a good thing. Don't forget to check cat /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency This command should return "1". About crackles, I had a lot with fluidsynth before, so I use timidity now. I use fluidsynth for loading a particuliar sound, instead of all the 127 GM sounds of timidity. > Today I did some experimenting with TiMidity as the softsynth for MusE -- I got it configured with timidity -iA in one terminal and muse -R in another. Then in the midiport configuration it popped up with timidity port 0 for the first midi port. Unfortunately this produced no sounds on testing. I opened the track info number and tried to select a preset, but all that it had was "???" -- no patches to select from. > > Is there another switch that needs to be thrown to load sounds into TiMidity? Something else? Following Planet CCRMA web page advices, I launch timidity server this way: /usr/bin/timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os Hope it helps.
