Try checking out specimen:
http://www.gazuga.net/
It is a software sampler. The author of specimen uses it with seq24 and
gets very good results.
If you do not already have qjackctl installed, I highley recommend
installing it now:
Qjackctl:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/
Qjackctl can manage jack connections and alsa connections. jack
connections are for sharing audio data between programs, and alsa
connections are for sharing midi data between programs.
I believe once you have both seq24 and specimen running, the midi ports
in specimen will be available to you in seq24. You can then trigger
samples in specimen by sending midi notes from seq24 to specimen.
Is this what you were looking to do?
That sounds exactly what I would like to do! I'm having some issues
installing Specimen though...
"Package samplerate was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'samplerate.pc' to the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'samplerate' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 jack alsa
samplerate sndfile phat) not met; consider adjusting the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a
nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them."
I apologize if this is not the right place to be asking about this...
I suppose now you can tell how much of a Linux newbie I actually am...
