I was going to ask earlier, but what does a Guitar to USB cable do -- does it simply take the output from the guitar pick ups (analog signal) and pass it through to a USB -- oh, hmm, I guess USB would have to be serial, so it must have some conversion, or do some A/D converters (or sound cards) accept analog via a USB port. Or does it magically convert the guitar signal to MIDI? ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

Does this really work? Probably. The active components are usually hidden in the USB end. It's like one of those microscopic flash drives that are so easy to lose. Anybody using one of these with Rosegarden? On Linux, hopefully? I'm *not* using one, but some suggestions from researching these things in the past: 1. The cheap ones probably aren't worth it. I wouldn't spend less than $50. 2. They probably all work just fine with Linux. But to be safe, pick a model and check the reviews on amazon to see if anyone's tested that model with Linux. A google search might turn up something as well. E.g. a google search on 'behringer ucg102 linux' turns up a link on linuxmusicians.com that talks about that one and all of the others working fine in Linux. 3. Consider getting one someplace you can return it easily (e.g. brick-and-mortar) in case you can't find reviews indicating it will work with Linux. Might not be easy in the time of coronavirus. Ted. Thanks Ted. I was hoping to hear from somebody with an endorsement of something they're using with Rosegard. But barring that, I'll heed your advice. -Mike ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
