Re: [Rosegarden-user] Trouble with softsynths

2011-12-25 Thread steve conrad
The two most common reasons for this sort of thing are that either you
have no soundfont loaded in your softsynth, or else that you haven't
set up RG to route its midi output through the softsynth that you
have.

The solution to the first one will vary with the synth you're using,
but should be pretty easy to figure out. Qsynth has a pretty self
explanatory setup window for loading fonts.

To solve the second, from the main RG window go to Studio -> Manage
Midi Devices and make sure that your synth is showing as one of the
available midi outputs and that it is selected.

The whole getting the sound going thing is a bit of a barrier to
entry, but it gets easier from there.

Hope this helps.

[Rosegarden-user] Trouble with softsynths

Hi, I am probably overlooking something, but I am unable to get any sound
out of rosegarden. I have mint11 (probably the version of rg that goes
along with that), and have a ton of compositions that I am unable to use
for their various purposes (I teach)... anyhow, I have tried to use
timidity, fluidsynth, zynaddsubfx, and some others, but nothing creates any
sound...  How do I go about trying to fix this? (Yes, I have scoured the
manual, etc) any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
