Now lets have a look at Rosegarden. First of all: plugin all your equipment= and switch it on, PC's running 'cause you can read this, MIDI Out of your = Soundcard (there's an "OUT" on the plug) to MIDI IN of your Synth and MIDI = Out of Synth to MIDI IN of soundcard. Also try to get some speakers working= with your synth, hammer the keys and there ought to be some sound from the= speakers (not from breaking keys). Now start Rosegarden. All you'll see is an application with a menu (File, E= dit, Composition...) and a toolbar beneath it. There are funny colored symb= ols like a floppy disk, play-, stop, and record buttons and on the right si= de a "Q"-Symbol and next to it some keys (black/white) morping into a circu= it board. Press this button with your mouse's pointer (do not try to break = your screen or damage your TFT's surface). There'll be a funky new window with some text inside like =ABDevice=BB, =AB= Recording Device=BB and so on. There are some drop down lists, too, contain= ing your sound card (=ABM Audio Audiophile...=BB) and a line =ABgeneral mid= i device=BB, which is not a member of an army. This is a so called device m= apping. It says, that =ABGeneral Midi Device=BB will be mapped to =ABM Audi= o...=BB. If this is not contained in the dialog, mentioned before, get MIDI= working. Have a look at alsa.org and M-Audio-Section (ice1712 chipset). If dialog looks like this, =ABClose=BB it and return to the main window. No= w get the Pencil-Tool from the toolbar (looks like a pencil, righty right) = and move the mouse's cursor while you press the left mouse button over the = first track's area (on top there's a ruler, drag the segment from 1 to 4). = After doing so a green segment (green rectangle) is on your track. Right cl= ick it and choose =ABMatrix Editor=BB. You sill have the pencil tool select= ed, click on randomly chosen keys on the left side of the =ABMatrix Editor= =BB You ought to hear your Synth. If not, close this Matrix Editor, right c= lick the track's title on the left (says something like =ABunnamed=BB) and = choose =ABGeneral Midi Device=BB and your Synth's channel in the next menu.= This is called a =ABChannel Mapping=BB. You assigned a device and one of t= he device's channels to your track. Return to the Matrix Editor - now it wo= rks. If you never heard before phrases like =ABMidi Channel=BB, =ABMatrix Editor= =BB, =ABTracks=BB and =ABDevices=BB, you'd better read the Rosegarden Tutor= ial from begin to end very carefully. Recording's after that quite easy, so I won't explain it here. Basically yo= u'll have to determine the input device (if you had a closer look at the = =ABManage Midi Devices=BB-Dialog, you know where to look for) and set the c= hannel to record to (activate the the according recording switch left of th= e track's title and right of it's mute switch, bubble-like round thingy; ch= anging color when clicked) And to be honest, in your mail before you only mentioned, that you've answe= red to an already existing thread, not that you've found the tutorial. ----- original Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Rosegarden-user] recording hardware synth sounds Gesendet: Fr 16 Jun 2006 17:32:47 CEST Von: "D.
