Hi Lee, Well things went form bad to worse...a post earlier this week suggested I go here: http://demudi.agnula.org/wiki/InstallApt so I did and followed these instructions: If you want to use the latest A/DeMuDi stable release (currently 1.2.1) you can download packages from the Internet inserting the following lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file: # A/DeMuDi stable deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi stable main So I did that. Later I ran synaptic it wanted to update - took about 2 hours or so. Went back and fetched vkeybd as suggested. All ok until I rebooted the machine - now I have no internet connectivity at all! Ubuntu pretty much took care of setting up the network connections when initially installed, so I've no idea what to change or to what. How can I get back to where I was before? Reintall Ubuntu? Wipe the Disk? ARRRG! BTW - tried as you suggested - cranked up ROseGarden, then fired up qjackctl - under MIDI connections RoseGarden shows up as a Writable Client / Input port - is that right? Anyways, jack won't tun now no matter the frames/period selected.... Deep sigh... Phil J.

What widgets need I fire up in what order? First launch Rosegarden. Then go into "Connect" in qjackctl, click the "MIDI" tab, and connect Rosegarden's MIDI output to the CSxxx MIDI input. Lee
