Hello, I've been a bit of a lurker on this list for a while. I'm both a developer (mostly at the moment of closed source billing software..) and a user of midi software (got a small midi rig at home - Akai sampler, couple of synths and an ageing Atari ST). Anyway, a similar packaging issue was

A problem with depending on CVS is that, in my experience, CVS seems to encourage very sloppy attitudes -- I think I have better luck with tarballs. Apparently many developers don't think it's a bug if the CVS version won't build, since it's just there for developers or something -- when I

I run my Korg Triton with Cubase. What I like to do is create all my midi tracks first, with no extra effects on them. This way I can work with the song and arrange the parts (I can get 16 channels out of the Korg). Once I am done and satisfied (for now) I save a copy as a backup, then each
