I personally (as a RG developer) like this aspect; it
means that
you treat every synth in the same way and the program behaves
more or less identically whether you're using soft synths or
hardware synths. For a long time I've been moaning to people
(and to the LAD list, on occasion) that I'd like to see a
standalone GUI app specifically for managing soft synths: to me
that would be better than doing so from within the sequencer.
In the absence of such a thing, Rosegarden probably will acquire
the ability to start and stop synths at some point. I'm not
sure whether we'll ever go to the extent of running them in-
process like (I think) MusE does.
Yeah, after I sent that email I thought about the fact that MusE
probably starts the synths in-process and I can see drawbacks to that
approach in certain situations. I do like the fact that RG handles
evrerything as generic MIDI. The thing I don't like about it is that
it forces me to do extra work outside of Rosegarden to get things
going.
