Greetings: Just FYI: There is a pat2wav utility packaged with KMidi. I've been trying to find it but without success. I can use Jesus Villena's Convert 1.4 under dosemu with complete success, so if you have dosemu installed you can try Convert. See this site for a URL : http://linux-sound.org/convert.html Alas, the URL for Convert appears to be broken, I'll see if I can hunt it down again (or I can send a tarball to anyone who wants it, it's freeware). A pat2raw uility is also listed there but I haven't tried it. Convert works well enough for me. So, your PAT files can live again with Specimen ! ;) Btw, last night I was playing with Sequencer Plus, Qsynth, and Specimen all happy together on the JACK bus. It's official, I'm in Linux audio Hog Heaven... Next up, running the whole bundle into Ardour... Best regards, dp Anthony wrote: >Fantastic. My bandmate will love this.
