It looks like the way to do this is with vkeybd.  I'm pretty sure that's th=

name I've seen flung around here.

I did a quick check to install it so I could tell you something more about =
it,=20
and for some reason Debian no longer has this thing available.  It was in=20
Woody, but it's not in testing, unstable or even experimental.  I have no=20
idea why.

I got the source, and even after editing the Makefile it isn't going to bui=
ld=20
without considerable hacking.  I really don't have time to fool with it rig=
ht=20
now.

I presume once you have it running Rosegarden will detect it and give you t=
he=20
option of using it as a recording device.

Use the volume knob in the Instrument Parameters box.

I don't really cover the concept of what controllers are actually *for* ver=
y=20
well yet, but this will show you where I'm talking about if nothing else:

I'm making a mental note to deal with vkeybd and to explain more what=20
controllers are for, and how to use them when I next work on the tutorial.
