G'day from outback Australia,
I'd like to record my Roland RD-150 piano at the MIDI protocol
level, adjust the tempo, maybe fix a few mistakes, and then play
it back and capture to audio to CD-R ... all to save having to
take my piano with me on gigs. It doesn't like the dirt roads.
I've spent about sixteen hours so far on the project, with some
good progress, but I'm missing a workable means to capture the
MIDI data and play it back at tempo.
I see from the mailing list archives (Frustrated, small review on
sequencers) that Rosegarden 4 might be an active project to try.
Does this match what I need? I've not used these sort of tools
before, so I lack the right terminology. I'm not convinced I know
what people mean when they say "sequencer" or "tracker".
Here are the steps:
1. Capture MIDI events from keyboard to a MIDI sequencer
like Rosegarden or MusE
2. Work at the score (adjust tempo/notes/whatever)
3. Play it through any software synth. I suggest FluidSynth
(www.fluidsynth.org) or Timidity and capture this sound in any
(multitrack) recording editor like ecasound, Ardour or ReZound --
you will need low-latency sound server JACK.
4. Record a resulted WAV file to CD-R/RW

and you won't be frustrated if you read the whole

Good luck!
