(I forgot to "reply all"...) Thank you! I was able to install "ams" and "qmidiroute" though I'm not really sure how to operate them. Basically, I'd like to be able to assign/edit the different controls/knobs/etc. on the keyboard via a user-friendly GUI-based program that helps visualize the changes in the settings as they occur. I'm new to MIDI on Linux (as well as recording/composing on Linux in general). So all of this will take some getting used to... one app at a time seems the best way to go.
