I'm relatively new to the audio on Linux scene, and admittedly don't have near the best equipment to do anything serious, but I'd at least like to hear some sounds of out of the synth and/or MIDI sequencing software on my Agnula distro. I don't have an external keyboard, so I'm limited to writing the score with rosegarden or lilypond. I'd like to edit the MIDI sequences I produce with something like muse, but I can't figure out how to hear what changes I make *from within muse*. I don't have an on-board sequencer (/dev/sequencer is never recognized or accessible, which is no surprise, really) on my card. I thought I'd try using timidity with the -iA option, and when I do that, then try to play a midi file from within muse, muse crashes. I just wanna' figure out how to do two things: 1) tweak my midi sequences for timing, rubato, expression, using somethink like muse or rosegarden, and be able to hear what I've done by clicking the play button(s) provided 2) create my own timbres using some of the cool-looking synth software, that I can't figure out how to hear whether I've made any changes or created any new patches. The subject line says it all, really. ;-) Thanks for any help you can give the clueless... Mark ===== -- Seek professional help! Ask a librarian. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
