[Rosegarden-user] MIDI controller!

[Morgan N. <woj...@gm...>]

Hey all,

I have an M-audio Oxygen midi controller. It has knobs and sliders
everywhere. I reckon I could practically use this as in lieu of my
keyboard to operate Rosegarden.

The question is: How? I have a KORG Triton, which I used to have plugged
into my computer, and when I went into the Rosegarden settings I could
control play, pause and rewind with the sequencer buttons on the
machine. My Oxygen has play, pause, rw, ff and record buttons but they
don't work no matter how I tweak the midi settings in rg preferences.

some controllers accidentally work. One arbitrary knob (of 8) happens to
control the
pan when I'm using fluidsynth. One slider (of 8) randomly controls the
volume of this synth, and in whysynth and xsynth that same slider
controls low pass filter. the one next to it adds portamento. And the
buttons beneath it allow me to select the first 8 programs of any of
these plugins.

Is there a way to map these the way I want them? I could assign so many
variables to Whysynth with this thing, for example, that I could
practically do all my patch editing directly from the MIDI controller!

Maybe there's a program that can tell you with sysex control is being
sent from each knob, slider or button? Maybe there's a way to map that
to Rosegarden? I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.
