While I've used Rosegarden and seq24 as a sequencer previously, I now use a GenoQs Octopus and the Korg Oasys as hardware sequencers. For RG and the occasional linux midi note conversion stuff I do in between hardware analog and virtual analog synths and a analog drum machine, I use a 4x4 midisport and a 2x2 midisport. I use "midi solutions" 4x and 2x mergers when using the Octopus or my Oasys as a sequencer to control my synths, so I have enough control. They also have 8x mergers. I'm looking at getting "midi solutions" 4x thru box for having the Oasys single "midi out" go into 4 different synths, since its my only 88 key keyboard that I use currently. All these mergers and thru boxes are so I don't have to switch cables - just turn the computer off, turn the gear on and it just works :-) . Beyond all that, its about to be a speck xtramix hardware mixer, my korg d888 digital recorder, hardware compressors and effects. Hope that help, Robert _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
