</div>I have an electronic saxophone, Yamaha WX5.<br></div>I use with MIDI->USB, using Qsynth (through jack), the sound is working well, but every time I try to record midi footage, using either rosegarden or ardour3, the midi record is:<br>

<br></div>I know it is very messy question. But maybe you know what is wrong in my case.. maybe to try another software, or I miss some settings there?<br><br>Thank you very much.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
