[Lmuse-user] loop & controller on 7.2 pre4

[Lukas E. <le...@gm...>]

hi there

i just build 7.2 pre4 on my gentoo box. it seems to build and run 
fine :-) now I try to set up a muse session but I came across some 
problems. since I'm new to this list and searching the list's archive 
takes ages beccause it's slow, it would be helpfull if someone colud 
give me some hints to get started with the shiny new muse... thx in 
advance!

how can i set the left (blue) locator in order to set the startpoint 
of a loop (right one with right mouse-click on the "bar scale"). the 
song loops just fine but i do not know how to set the left locator - 
what am I missing?

I'm not able to to send controller data to a synthy like ZynAdd or 
whatever. I've noticed it makes a difference what i select under 
settings -->> "midi-ports / soft-synths" in the colune "instuments". 
with "generic midi" i get no other controllers to choos with other 
settings like ZynAdd, GM, XG I get some but all exept velocity are 
greyed out. do I have to edit files in "/usr/share/muse/instruments" 
to set the right values for each controller, set permissions or how 
can i make it work?
