[Rosegarden-user] Midi Mayhem

[Eric R. <sh...@te...>]

Congratulations to the developers one Rosegarden 1.0! Finally a good 
working music notation program that I can use with Slackware. The 
compile took about 2 hours but the result is very quick and seems very 
stable.  My only problem, a minor one, is that I use a SBlive. I have 
jack configured and installed. But the %$#@# sblive is almost impossible 
to use with midi. If there is anyone who has managed to load sound fonts 
correctly I would sure like to learn how. I have even tried including 
the sb sound fonts that came with the disk. KDE has never loaded the 
right fonts for this card properly. Jack has no man page, and I do not 
know if it is possible to override kmidi anyway. Somewhere I read that 
it is possible to use timidity to load the SBlive sound fonts. But again 
there is no man page for TiMidity. I might have to perform a 
soundcardectomy and transplant a more linux friendly device, any 
suggestions on which card works best with the QT libs would be greatly 
appreciated.
