Wily, Thanks for your suggestions but I'm not sure I explained what I'm trying to do clearly enough. I use MIDI keyboards. As I said in my earlier postings I need to use ALSA's *OSS-mode* sequencer with a MIDI *keyboard* and the original Rosegarden version 2.1p4 (or earlier) e.g. http://www.liam2.demon.co.uk/rosegarden.tar.bz2 I do not want to use the sequencer to play MIDI files on my soundcard.
I know ALSA's ALSA-mode sequencer works fine with MIDI keyboards but I cannot use it. This is because the original OSS-mode Rosegarden is the best large-scale score-based composition software. I have tried alternative software for the ALSA-mode sequencer such as the new Rosegarden, Brahms, Noteedit, and of course Muse but frankly none of them is as efficient as the original Rosegarden for handling *large-scale* score writing. I've got a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold, whose OSS-mode sequencer works fine with MIDI keyboards using OSSFree sound drivers and the original OSS-mode Rosegarden. The problem is that ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer appears broken with MIDI keyboards. The awemidi package from Takashi Iwai's AWE32 driver provides drvmidi, txtplay, miditext and tkmidi but none of these work with MIDI keyboards and ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer. To anyone reading this, please try using a MIDI keyboard with ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer. You cannot see the bug without using a MIDI keyboard and ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer. Thanks Wily for replying to my question.
