[Rosegarden-user] Basic Midi Set up

[John A <wel...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am a new Rosegarden user, trying out how to sync RG with my Korg 
Triton. I have existing sequences in the Korg, that I would like to 
bounce over to RG. I have managed to get the data to record from the 
Korg into RG, but still not in sync, and I get frequent unexpected 
occurrences; specifically, I have trouble with unexpected program 
changes and notes sticking or feeding back.

 From reading the handbook, it seems that setting each channel to 
'Receive External' should result in RG just sending the MIDI data to the 
programs however they might be arranged on the keyboard, but I still get 
unexpected program changes. 'Receive external will even uncheck itself 
almost immediately after I check it.

I looked into setting the exact bank and program numbers for each 
channel, but RG doesn't "see" the korg, it only "sees" my Scarlett 2i4 
"general midi device." I tried to set it up through "Manage MIDI Banks 
and Programs," and imported existing bank settings for the Triton 
Extreme. (This was the closest I could find to my keyboard) I thought I 
could at least set the right bank and program numbers, even if the names 
didn't match. This didn't seem to work at all, and now each channel is 
just playing whatever program each channel on the Korg is set to; this 
is what I wanted it to do initially, but when I try to use it that way I 
get the aforementioned surprises.

I'm not sure what to do about the issue. I would greatly appreciate any 
help in this problem!
