So basically, I use something like Rosegarden (or a better option?) for my MIDI instruments, and send the audio that it creates into Ardour?

(No offense to anyone advertising that but I cannot spend that $$$ right now.) :-\ Regarding the USB/MIDI keyboard/controller - "hexter" was mentioned earlier for the synth-sounds & "qsampler" (with "linuxsampler") was mentioned for piano sounds. Regarding the MIDI drumset - "seq24" was mentioned. If those apps support the "jack-transport"-enabled idea, that'll be a good starting point. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
