I don't know what card you have, but I have a soundblaster and just loaded up a soundfont to the wave table with "sfxload"... used kaconnect to connect the midi keyboard to the wavetable... went to an xterm and stared alsamixer... set the capture on "Music" in alsamixer (left and right arrow keys to move around... and the spacebar to choose "capture", you'll see "CAPTUR" at the top of the "Music" control). Then I raised the levels on "Music Ca" in alsamixer. I used ecasound to record the the output of the wavetable to an audio file. It never seems to be that easy though. The controls are pretty confusing and there always seems to be a control that needs to be set or unmuted in conjunction (press "m" to toggle mutting). But if you use QAMix or KAMix, they are grouped in a more logical way and are easier to work with. KAMix is basically the same mixer as QAMix. It's just QAMix for the KDE desktop. Turning up the wrong control or unmutting the wrong control is a great way to make the card scream or cause infinte feedback loops. Momma don't like when the card screams. She says the card makes her ears hurt. Rocco
