RE: [Rosegarden-user] Do you know Jack?

[Michael R. <mic...@sh...>]

Hi Mark,

I downloaded qjackconnect, and it shows rosegarden connecting to the
PCM, but I don't see anything for Timidity...

I'm not sure what I'm doing here. The end result I want is to be able to
use Rosegarden to control a MIDI device, and I'd like to start with a
software device so that I can work with the equipment I have (i.e. none
but a SoundBlaster Ensoniq ES1371)

I don't see any simple way to get kaconnect on my RedHat system because
I'm not much with makefiles, and I don't see it on the Planet.

Can you suggest any way to verify whether Jack is working? I don't mind
adding software if it's on the Planet.

Regards, and thanks.
Michael
