Hi, Victor and Bert. I agree with Bert -- it would probably be most convenient for Scratch to use the MIDI option, if possible. Ideally, it would work the same as MIDI does on other versions of Linux, so we could just use the Squeak MIDI Plugin. That said, I have not explored how the MIDI plugin works on Linux. Supposedly you can use it to talk to the Timidity software MIDI synth.
Could we arrange for the shell script that launches Scratch to also launch the CSound server when Scratch is launched and close it when Scratch quits? -- John On Aug 31, 2008, at 2:50 PM, victor wrote: > No, you have to run it with a command-line option and then use > aconnect I suppose.
