Should a musician give up his guitar or MIDI keyboard or sax?) I was going to do this entirely within Linux except for the MIDI data stream (no audio) from my Yamaha P90 digital piano into the computer. I found two patches in ZynAddSubFX that sounded great layered, the "Soft Arpeggio3" and the "Ice Rhodes2," but every time I recorded the piece routing the audio output of ZynAddSubFX through Jack to Rezound, I would receive just one or two brief overruns. These became frustrating, so I instead reluctantly resorted to using one of the sounds from one of my external MIDI tone generators, the SRX-02 "Concert Piano" expansion boand in my Roland FantomXR, routing the audio into the computer via an M-Audio Delta 1010 sound card. However, I must say that I was very impressed with the sounds that ZynAddSubFX produces and I hope to do more study and resolve Jack's overrun issue because I would very much like to record using "soft synths" such as ZynAddSubFX. -sd -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened. -Mark Twain ----------------------------------------------------------------
