That's why I didn't mention Qtractor: because
Bob wants as simple a
program as possible and mentioned RoseGarden as overkill.
However, my suggestion (timidity) won't suit his needs either perhaps,
because there may be no way in timidity to send the MIDI data itself to
an external tone-generator or synth instead of converting the MIDI data
into WAV audio. Sorry, Bob. :-)
Yeah, timidity doesn't support "real" synths. Qtractor, I don't know
about ... but, probably overkill.
Again, the kmid program would be just fine if it didn't distort to the
external synth. Anyone happen to have any ideas about why it might be
doing that?
