Hi all,

I'm hopping in here for a quick note on my own setup. But before that, I wanted to tell you guys that I just finished an album a few weeks ago, using Rosegarden for Midi and Ardour for Audio. I got a few annoying bugs and crashes (using old versions, though, I got a little conservative close to the end of the work, not wanting any upgrade cause any new weird behaviour), but on the whole, Rosegarden is really usable. So thanks a lot : free audio and music software is what keeps me on Linux.

Anyway : I have three synths, patched together with a UM-550 from Edirol, connected via USB to my computer. That little devil gives me no less than 5 midi inputs, but Rosegarden will only let me record one synth at a time, and I have to get down to changing the default record device in the midi-setup dialog, which kind of sucks. I'd really like to be able to record several synths at the same time (Midi, that is).

So I guess that makes me a supporter of the "each track has it's own input device and channel" solution, next to the "output device and channel".

UI : Have a setting somewhere that says "default input device and channel", which gets copied for each new track. Maybe set each new track to the same device but with a different channel, which would make it easy to record using a MIDI-oriented master keyboard (like my RD-700).

Cheers, and thanks again.

Carl
