Thanks for you interest; I'm a bit po'ed about life-in-general
tonight and a bit into the scotch. But I do think I'm needing
things that a musician/desktop user needs. Players, tuners don't
seem like rocket science to me.
Again thanks. (ps I'm getting an audigiy card and upgrading to
planetccrma/fc? "some time soon" (so say the guy who's helping me
with the new machine)

You mean to say that to play back a midi filed with
pause, back up or forward, I need to use a sequencer?
You're saying that there is no midi player in linux that
allows the simple controls of a tape player?
I'm running rh9/planet ccrma, I can't find a player
there. I figured that's because I'm a slowhead. Is there
none?
Is there a midi file player for the 2.6 kernal, fc??
kernel?
If there's nothing, I'm starting to think linux is real
weak on midi playback.
If you have kde installed, take a look at kmid.
By the way, could you comment on my recent
question on
tuning a midi keyboard?
Its probably more accurate than the piano tuners tuning
forks if its had any fine tuning done reset back to no
corrections. The crystals used as the reference generators
are typically better than .001% accurate and you can tune
the piano/whatever to the keyboard with good confidence
that you are at least as correct as the tuning fork the
piano tuner used to use.
