If you run 'jack-dssi-host -n whysynth.so' (for example), it will load the WhySynth plugin and create an ALSA-seq input port and JACK output ports and connect them to the alsa_pcm playback ports, and you will be able to connect your keyboard or sequencer to the ALSA-seq port and use it to change programs and controllers. -- Lars Luthman PGP key: http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~d00-llu/pgp_key.php Fingerprint: FCA7 C790 19B9 322D EB7A E1B3 4371 4650 04C7 7E2E -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
