Hi, Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming support.
I will definately check out a different distribution for what I am doing, I didn't realise redhat was old hat. Here is a link to the synth I am using: http://www.novationmusic.com/product.asp?id=13&Type=1&bArchive= Nick said: "If Ant is in a hurry and absolutely wants to use CCRMA, I suggest he backs up his data and installs FC3, then the CCRMA stuff. If he is more patient he could wait for CCRMA to catch up to FC4 and start from there." I don't have to use CCRMA, it was just something I came across that I thought might help me, more than hinder me. Also I'm not a very patient man, so I will try one of these distributions I have downloaded recently. I got: Debian, Knoppix, Gentoo, Ubunto, dynebolic, demudi and fedora 4. Not sure what one to start with. Demudi is another specialised one for audio (http://www.agnula.org/) But after using CCRMA I'm not sure if I can trust it. >Is he doing midi through a midi port on the soundcard or does he have a >separate midi port?

I found the page that corresponds to the soundcard http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Ensoniq&ca rd=.&chip=ES1371%2C+ES1372%2C+ES1373%2C+CT5880+%28ES1373%29&module=ens1371 Hmm. Thats a long link... I will post again once I have another distribution installed. Thanks again for all the help, :Ant -----Original Message----- From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 11:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Setting up Audio on Redhat-CCRMA On Thu, October 6, 2005 10:46 pm, Nick Rout said: > > Rosegarden should just work once you have the midi hardware going.

There is often more than one listed. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
