For synthesis I know only the Csound but that is more of a sound "renderer". For GM synthesis you could try timidity or iiwusynth. The problem with both is the soundfonts, I have not seen any good, freely available GM bank in sf2 format. AFAIK both support only the GM, no XG or GS. Timidity may have some reasonable GUS patches, search for eawpats. For midi, try rosegarden 4, there are certainly other sequencers around, see what you like. If you are using RedHat then check http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ Note here that RedHat 8.0 (at least) does already include the lowlatency patch but it seems it is not enabled. I've recompiled and enabled the sysctl control. Cheers, -- Ryurick M. Hristev mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Systems Manager University of Canterbury, Physics & Astronomy Dept., New Zealand
