this is strange. It simply works for me (tm). > May be I has simply combined the wrong things... What versions did you try?

I think, aconnect (part of media-sound/alsa-utils) is the tool you want to try. Start both rosegarden and zynaddsubfx, then use aconnect -lio to see, what in- and out-ports were created on your system. After that use aconnect to connect the rosegarden out-port with the zynaddsubfx in-port. http://alsa.opensrc.org/Aconnect has some details. I never tried this for myself, so I have no practical experience with it. > best regards, > mcc Hth, Michael > If this will become too OT simply use my PM :) > > Michael Schreckenbauer <grim...@gmx.de> [11-08-11 10:52]: > > Hi Meino, > > > > Am Donnerstag, 11.
