No you can send to an external MIDI instrument so long as you have the MIDI port enabled in your alsa config, this is usually not enabled by default. > >I trust you are already familiar with these: > >http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/faq/ > >http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/using-rosegarden/en/chapter-0.h > >tml (there is a German translation too) > > Those seem to describe if you don't have a real midi device.

I suggest you look at the options in your alsa configuration file. What distro are you using? (sorry, not been taking notes ;-) mine looks like this: $ cat /etc/modutils/alsa-base # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd device_mode=0660 options snd-intel8x0 mpu_port=0x330 index=0 ## This is the MIDI port alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- It does sound like most of your problems are 64bit specific, the latest release candidate of rosegarden4-1.0rc2 addresses some of these issues and is currently available for testing. cheers tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
