jump in and set up Ardour. I have it working and am still figuring
things out, but I have a question - what Linux apps do you guys use to
play soundfonts (the only app I could find is FluidSynth, which I
haven't tried yet).
I use fluidsynth, controlled by Rosegarden.
I would be interested to know of a recommendation for a more lightweight
MIDI sequencer - perhaps one that I will be able to syncronise with Ardour?
The only problem I have with using fluidsynth is that the better
soundfonts tend to use a lot of memory - but I don't think that is the
fault of the software, just the nature of the problem.
Another useful program is qsynth, which provides a graphical interface
to fluidsynth. They are both included in PlanetCCRMA's packages.
