i recently tried using patchage to connect the zynsubfx and yoshimi<br>
synths to rosegarden. both synths show in patchage with different<br>
ports to usual, and i&#39;m not sure what to do with them. the usual setup<br>
is:<br>
blue: audio<br>
green: midi (alsa midi i think?)<br>
both the above synths have a red input port. what is this - is it jack<br>
midi? how do i work with it?<br>

The only &quot;input&quot; those synths will have will be the midi input port.<br>
Sounds like red would be the colour. Whether it&#39;s jack midi or alsa<br>
midi will depend on a) what default was chosen on build, or b) which<br>
option was selected via command line parameter.<div class="im"><br>

Can&#39;t help you there, looks like you&#39;re in for the &quot;kneebone connected to the<br>
thighbone&quot; discovery method - connect things and see what happens!<br>
