The author of specimen uses it with seq24 and gets very good results. If you do not already have qjackctl installed, I highley recommend installing it now: Qjackctl: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ Qjackctl can manage jack connections and alsa connections. jack connections are for sharing audio data between programs, and alsa connections are for sharing midi data between programs. I believe once you have both seq24 and specimen running, the midi ports in specimen will be available to you in seq24. You can then trigger samples in specimen by sending midi notes from seq24 to specimen. Is this what you were looking to do?
