I would tend to go keyboard->rosegarden->zyn for MIDI. You have more control, and can manage the multi-insturment capabilites of Zyn. A point that is easily forgotten is that you can have several instances of Zyn controlled by Rosegarden, with their audio outputs routed differently. <shameless plug> You might like to try my Zyn voice patches on: http://www.musically.me.uk/Collection.zip -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk |
