Hi Henk. My host machine was Windows XP and I installed Linux within the Virtual ara. The control + g moves you into the Virtual Machine. You have to make sure that you have activated the serial port for your synth. Once the VM has taken control on the keyboard, the environment is like a linux console. I hope this helps.
