Following on from that, I find the (short) ritual I have when firing up seems to settle me into the right frame of mind for creative work. I hit the 'big switch' and stuff sequentially powers up. Once the desktop is there (qjackctl set and running) I click on an icon to pull up Yoshimi, which auto-connects main L&R audio mains. I click on another icon for Rosegarden, which is configured to find Yoshimi and the hardware synths. It will also find Hydrogen and Qsynth if they are running, but I don't use those very often. This could be further automated of course, but I like it that way. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
