Oh, oh.

snd_virmidi is not the same as snd_seq_virmidi!  My mistake, and looky 
here:
 aplaymidi -l
 Port    Client name                      Port name
 14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
 16:0    SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400]       Audigy MPU-401 (UART)
 16:32   SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400]       Audigy MPU-401 #2
 17:0    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 0
 17:1    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 1
 17:2    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 2
 17:3    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 3
 20:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 1-0             VirMIDI 1-0 (4 brand new ports!)
 21:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 1-1             VirMIDI 1-1
 22:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 1-2             VirMIDI 1-2
 23:0    Virtual Raw MIDI 1-3             VirMIDI 1-3

and this set of tomato cans & a long string is now playing into my sound 
card direct from UBox3 running on the coco in the basement, no java synth 
involved.  But the menu now has 64 more entries, a lot of scrolling to get 
to the right one.  Its #100 on the list. :)

And other than instrument miss-matches, very sweet.

Now, go put the newer .jar in & restart everything.  Done.

Yup, 3.99.9 is messing it up, playing the wrong notes etc but not as bad as 
before when I was using it.  But after the first song in a 4 song loop, all 
I am hearing is instrument miss-match, and its playing it ok on the 2nd 
pass thru the first song.  Playing the melody of "A whole new world", from 
Aladdin using cowbells for the melody line is a new listening experience!

I'll go put one more modprobe statement in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and 
call this usable until I learn how to translate instruments in umuse3.

Thank you both for your patience!

Cheers, Gene
