Hi, Mick. > I've got heaps of stuff installed on a laptop running Fedora 3 (ALSA, > JACK, Hydrogen, Muse, Rosegarden, SooperLooper, > CheeseTracker and a lot more) but unfortunately most of it doesn't work > yet.

For ALSA and Jack, I would like to suggest the following: http://www.agnula.org/documentation/dp_tutorials/alsa_jack_ladspa/ There is a MIDI how-to here, among other things: http://www.djcj.org/LAU/guide/index.php Hopt that helps! -- ------------------------------------------- Denis A.
