I'm not sure what you mean by > Basically, you want the midi event generated by the keyboard to be in sync with the song you are building/playing along with. So, for example, you may have written some parts to a song in Rosegarden, and now you are using the Axiom to add another part. You want your midi events generated by the keyboard to be recorded by the computer at the right time, or else you will hear the delay when you play the whole thing back.
This can be a complicated issue and probably not something you need to worry about right away. Invest in some midi cables is the take home message. > "synchronized" but I'll give that a try.

When you get your external device, it should have a midi port, you will want to use this one when the time comes. >> I personally prefer PCI/PCIe devices for low latency audio work. > > Yeah...I had considered the possibility of setting up a stand alone > workstation with 64Studio installed and a good PCI audio card. > Unfortunately, resources are an issue...and portability. > It depends on what you define as portable. Here is a pic of my rig: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30780...@n02/3130581964/in/set-72157611477966147/ The turntable belongs to a friend, we are digitizing some vinyl. Also, my 64Studio box is a 939 based AMD that I picked up 2nd hand. Pretty solid. If you do end up buying a box for this, stay far away from anything based around the AMD AM2 or AM2+. > Thanks much for all the tips and suggestions.

My apologies...I should have googled first. > No apology required. This was an excellent first step. I only mention it as we see the same questions over and over again on the mailing lists and there are a lot of people who tend to react in a hostile fashion after having seen the same question 100 times. Also, a lot of people who are new to open source often barge in and offend many people because they simply do not understand the culture. I want you to be successful. My goal is to help prepare you for interacting with these colourful and amazing people. ccmixter.org is a good place to go to find samples, loops, vocal tracks etc. that you remix or use in your own pieces. freesound.org also has a lot of samples.
