Yes, Nice piece of work.
However, I have the following problems on my Debian Sid box:
1. This new version seems to always load two instances of the requested synth:
One without and one with the watermark.
2. After closing one synth and invoking another, the sounds of the previous
one are still active. Cannot always get the new one to change.
3. Jack did not work.
4. Some of the synths get no sound. I may be I do not know how to use them.
B3, Rhodes, Mini work out of the box.
MIDI works fine but one must specify the -mididev if this is not the first
alsa/oss device. Mine being the second one, I have to give it /dev/midi1 in a
OSS mode and hw129:0 in ALSA. I assume there is a way of (setting up for)
using device names instead of this stuff.

Hm. I have never seen this. What is the output from 'which startBristol'?
2. After the sounds of the previous one are still

Multiitimbral. How did you close the synth window? If you do it with ^C, or
destroy the window then I do not always have a change to remove the synth
from the engine. It then lingers on the same midi channel. This was half
intentional, to allow for multitimbral support, but killing the GUI from the
window titlebar should result in a graceful remove of the emulation as well
as the GUI.
3. Jack did not work.
There are a few other complaints of this one, am looking into it.
4. Some of the synths get no sound.
Ah, that may have been me. Some of the default synth memories have volume
set to zero - I needed to use them to test the ARP 2600 which has no
keyboard. The up/down memory keys should load the first available one. I
will fix this in the next upload, it may also be an issue with a late
enhancement: the -load <memory index> will allow you to set the first memory
location. Default value is 'zero', but some of the synths do not have a
memory number zero since they take 'bank' numbers that start from '1'.
MIDI works fine but one must specify the -mididev if this is not the first
alsa/oss device. Mine being the second one, I have to give it /dev/midi1 in

Please, David :
how did you make out the correct id (hw129) for your midi device ?
I also have a USB keyboard as my second soundcard, but I cannot make
out its id ...
It is listed in /proc/devices as KONTROL49, but that is not a correct
id for Bristol, obviously ...
Also, to Nick :
would it be possible for Bristol MIDI connections to show up in
QJackctl or Patchage ? This would enable ignorants like me to patch
Bristol to their MIDI devices :-)
Regards.

I will be configuring a USB MIDI keyboard presently - I have not had much
time to do it, but it appears in ALSA as device 72:0, bristol appears as
128:0, and aconnect should be able to patch them together. Bristol only
supports raw MIDI or ALSA SEQ, so any other interface is likely to be a
problem at the moment.
Nick.
