Re: [Rosegarden-user] New sound, new way of working
Hello Will, I still have a heart for Rosegarden and hope to be a contributing member again. My current work situation restricts my ability to contribute. Though I hope I will start to be able to contribute once approvals are in place and time permits. I've been super swamped lately.

There are points toward the end where I feel like a cello playing counterpoint with the main melody would fit nicely. I have a Maudio 2496 sound card but it's MIDI port is used for a Sound Canvas (although I don't use it much these days) so instead I have each keyboard going to its own MIDI port in a MIDIsport 2x2. One keyboard outputs on CH1 and the other on CH2. In Rosegarden's 'Manage MIDI Devices' I add 2 new recording devices and point one each to the respective MIDIsport ports. Using tracks 1 and 2, in the main window and 'Special Parameters' field I set the channel numbers to 1 and 2 respectively. You have to leave the Device as 'All' - I expect that's a bug :( When you are in playback mode, both keyboards will produce the sound of the currently selected track, but once you start to record they will separate out correctly, and record to the right tracks. I can see the sense in that, but it would be useful if there was a Record-Pause feature (at least, I couldn't find one). I then simply have yoshimi channels 1 and 2 set to the voices I want for each keyboard. Yes, the lead instrument is my new Solo voice :) I agree that some bass might be a good idea and possibly a counter melody in places, but I'm not entirely sure the best way to go about this. I'll leave it a while anyway - I don't want to risk over-egging the cake!

Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas most likely, and more than a few years ago. I've never actually found a use for any of that functionality myself, so I've never fooled with it enough to get a feel for whether it works correctly or not, I'm sorry to admit. -- D.
