Last Sunday 13 February 2005 08:07, Noah Roberts was like:
Rosegarden just doesn't seem to be working for me.
The keyboard
connection is initialized according to configuration panel-> midi
stats. I can load a midi and play it to the keyboard using rosegarden.
But for one thing there are no instruments to choose from. Both right
click on a track and going to find 'instrument' in the menus yeilds a
blank menu.
Second, the "midi connection manager" is not working as described. I
can create new devices in both play and record but I cannot connect them
to the soundcard connection to my keyboard. The choice is in the
dropdown, but when I click on it the "No Connection" item remains selected.
When I try to record I get a "No record instrument selected." I think
it wants me to select a non-existant instrument?
What am I missing?
Uhm, Instruments?
(just a thought ;-)
Rosegarden doesn't actually contain any instruments as such. If your version
is compiled with DSSI support, you will be able to use synth plugins. Else
you need to connect to a softsynth via JACK. I generally launch QJackCtl and
QSynth (fluidsynth gui) and then Rosegarden.
I trust you are already familiar with these:

http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/using-rosegarden/en/chapter-0.ht…
(there is a German translation too)
Forgive me if you have already figured all this. I find a statement of the PBO
can often be helpful at times like these. :-)
