I think the problem is that rosegarden isn't connected to the WaveTable synthesizer with aconnect. I don't have any synthesizer on my 10CE system so I used Timidity as ALSA sequencer client. You shouldn't have to use Timidity since your soundcard has a wavetable synthesizer. Anyway, I started Rosegarden and then Timidity with 'timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -q0/0 -k0' as instructed in /usr/share/doc/TiMidity++-2.12.0/README.alsaseq.

I think the problem is that rosegarden isn't connected to the WaveTable synthesizer with aconnect. I don't Well, it's supposed to have a wavetable sequencer, but timidity++ seems to be able to handle it now - it's almost working. I at least have been able to get bleeps out of the soundcard port. Right now, I have timidity++ and timidity-instruments rpm's installed, and rosegarden is connected up to port 128 (i.e., setting for software device in rosegarden) but I can't change instruments. So, I get a piano playing for instance Bach's suite for unaccompanied cello. ;) I'm also getting a series of odd percussive type noises happening from time to time coming out of the soundcard. I figure those might be to speed artifacts. It's not 100% but I don't think I'll be able to do any better than this without checking for possible kernel problems. No matter what I do in Rosegarden, I can't seem to connect it with the onboard wavetable. -- David E.

So I try connecting it and something isn't working right. Rosegarden is port 128, and port 65 is the kernel connection to the onboard wavetable on my SB Live, right?
