Larry,
   I'll ask the only question I know to ask from when I was playing with
Rosegarden. As I remember the app, on the configuration page you have to
choose which MIDI interface you're going to record from. It would play to
all 4 of my MIDI ports, but it would only record from the one that was
chosen on this configuration tab.

   Does this say virmidi right now? (BTW - I've not used virmidi, so I don't
know if this changes things too much.)

Cheers,
Mark
