I want to make music with rosegarden and play

load a soundfont and use a synth to play it.
I jsut worked through this process over the weekend for my son, who is
composing a piece for his high school senior project!
The Rosegarden FAQ goes into this, but here's what I did:
Start JACK.
Start QSynth
Load a soundfont into QSynth. (There are a lot of good General MIDI
soundfonts available at Hammersound (
http://www.hammersound.com/cgi-bin/soundlink.pl )
Start Rosegarden
In QJackCtl's Connect window, in the MIDI tab, connect Rosegarden's MIDI
out to Qsynth's MIDI in. In the Audio tab, connect QSynth's outputs to
your usual output - usually alsa_pcm playback 1 & 2.
That should do it for you.
Thanks, I've it working now, at least I hear sound :)
In Rosegarden I've in manage Midi devices: 131:0 synth input port
(3526:0) (write)
I've first started qjackctl, then qsynth and loaded the soundfont. I
didn't do anything with connecting MIDI, I've no connections unther MIDI
in jack connections...
In audio and alsa I've the connections which are set automatically by
jack...
I've snd-seq loaded in my /etc/modules
Regards,
Ps. Is it possible in linux to load a *.sfx soundfont???
