I only use one external midi input for my usb midi keyboard, but hopefully someone else on the list can help. I presume you are talking about having multiple midi inputs. In my case with only the usb midi keyboard, this shows up automatically in the "Manage Midi Devices" panel in Play devices, and Record devices. Nigel

hi nigel, i've installed dssi and hexter. i manage to start hexter by typing in a console "$ jack-dssi-host hexter.so". the problem is that in rosegarden if i clic to "Composition --> Studio --> Manage Synth Plugins" the windows is blank. the only way i manage to use soft-synth and rosegarden is this: - first i load a soft-synth (not only hexter but also ZynAddSubFx which is not a dssi soft-synth) - then i make the correct jack connection - then in rosegarden i do this "right click on midi track --> midi software devices --> midi software device #1" if i do this procedure, then on the left side of the windows ("Parametri dello strumento" in the italian version of rosegarden, i think "Instrument setting" or something like this in the english versione of rosegarden) i can read the name of the instrument (hexter or zynadd.). i think this is not the way to manage dssi by rosegarden, because i'm not using rosegarden as host to load dssi soft-synth, but jack-dssi-host. after i wrote my mail, i reed that a lot of version of rosegarden which are included with variuos distribution are not compiled with dssi support, also demudi's version of rosegarden. i think this is the problem. so i downloaded rosegarden source. i installed all the depencies and the "$ ./configure" command told me that all is ok. but when i give the command "$ make" it tells me this error: ---------------- [...] Colour.C:166: error: explicit qualification in declaration of `Rosegarden::Colour Rosegarden::getCombinationColour(const Rosegarden::Colour&, const Rosegarden::Colour&)' make[2]: *** [Colour.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bobo/src/rosegarden-4-1.0/base' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bobo/src/rosegarden-4-1.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 ------------------ i don't know why. i'll continue using dssi with jack-dssi-host..... bye bye emanuele Nigel Henry ha scritto:
