Sometimes there was no connection at all, sometimes after a short time rosegarden crashes and/or reports taht the connection has gone, and so on.... May be I has simply combined the wrong things... I have no midi hardware in the sense of keyboards, external synths and such. What I want is to set up a melody in rosegarden and to play it via Zynaddsubfx. A midi step sequencer (not sure if this this correct terminus technicus, though) were also fine... Any ideas? best regards, mcc If this will become too OT simply use my PM :) Michael Schreckenbauer [11-08-11 10:52]: > Hi Meino, > > Am Donnerstag, 11.
