Hi, I am probably overlooking something, but I am unable to get any sound out of rosegarden. I have mint11 (probably the version of rg that goes along with that), and have a ton of compositions that I am unable to use for their various purposes (I teach)... anyhow, I have tried to use timidity, fluidsynth, zynaddsubfx, and some others, but nothing creates any sound... How do I go about trying to fix this? (Yes, I have scoured the manual, etc).... any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! |

The two most common reasons for this sort of thing are that either you have no soundfont loaded in your softsynth, or else that you haven't set up RG to route its midi output through the softsynth that you have. The solution to the first one will vary with the synth you're using, but should be pretty easy to figure out. Qsynth has a pretty self explanatory setup window for loading fonts. To solve the second, from the main RG window go to Studio -> Manage Midi Devices and make sure that your synth is showing as one of the available midi outputs and that it is selected. The whole getting the sound going thing is a bit of a barrier to entry, but it gets easier from there. Hope this helps.

Tim, You don't get sound out of Rosegarden. Rosegarden doesn't make sounds. Rosegarden sends signals to JACK, which then routes those signals to wherever you have told JACK to route them. Make sure you have JACK running. You then have to use JACK to route Rosegarden's OUTPUT into the INPUT of the synth. Then route the OUTPUT of the synth into your system output (speakers). Or you can try the Rosegarden for Windows alpha. You don't have to mess around with any of that; it just works.

Even on the dinky little netbook my son got for Christmas, I'm kind of impressed to say. He's planning to install Linux on the thing, so some 1:1 comparisons of Rosegarden running under different operating systems on the same hardware are in order. -- D. Michael McIntyre |
