Hi, I was just reviewing some projects (again) and noticed that during the loading of the projects, the stating of rosegarden set the volumes of some (but not all) of the linuxsampler channels to 48. I've done nothing that I'm aware of to make it do this, all channels should be at full volume. When I change the volume control for the midi channel in rosegarden, the volume of the channel changes in qsampler but not to its full extent. I'm using planet CCRMA on FC6 (32 bit)- a recent version of linuxsampler and qsampler that Nando did to fix the 'immediate crash' bug. On an aside - the most immediately usfull tools for general musicians are the software synths - qsynth and qsampler - and I've had loads of trouble with them. With ZynAddSubFX having problems with real time (and soft synths are only any use with real time), users of linux audio are left with very few options. What can we do ? Cheers, Bruce.
