Re: [Rosegarden-devel] Sending MIDI events to armed tracks

[Cyr B. <cyr...@gm...>]

Hi Aere,

Yeah, that's not such a bad solution.

I only see 2 downsides:

The first, not that important, is that you have the additional work of
routing the events to Qsynth or wathever with jackcrontrol. But, that's not
too bad. At least it works.

The second one is much more embarasing because your solution makes
difficult the use of any DSSI or LADSPA plugins in RG for these
instruments.

If I understand correctly, with your solution, DSSI or LADSPA plugins would
be usable in RG. But, one could not hear the real (recorded) sound of its
instrument while not recording, unless its track is selected. In the end,
hearing the real, recorded, sound of 2 or more instruments at the same time
without recording (just to have an idea how they sound together) would be
impossible.
