I found this 2008 rosegarden tutorial by D. Michael McIntyre @ http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/tutorials/supplemental/zyn/zyn.html in which he explains how to use the ZYN synth. He begins with launching ZYN and then watching Qjackctl connect it, etc. But rosegarden-11.11.42 can use ZYN without it being started manually i.e. ZYN figures in the synth list. Is there there a difference? Is this second condition a result of rosegarden having detected an installed ZYN package and just using it?
The reason I'm asking is that sofar I've found only 2 ways to get sound from ZYN: via what seems to be the above internal rosegarden selection with rosegarden running, or without jack (and thus without rosegarden) when ZYN is started manually with the command "padsp zynaddsubfx". [OpenSUSE-12.2 in which the jack/qsynthctl/rosegarden combo now otherwise works nicely]. For laughs, the 5 ways I have to start ZYN are: no sound: 1 "zynaddsubfx" (pulse?) sound: 2 "padsp zynaddsubfx" (gets around pulse?) no sound: 3 #1 with jack & rosegarden running no sound: 4 #2 with jack & rosegarden running sound: 5 jack & rosegarden running internal ZYN Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
