Took one look at unity and hated it. Back on a fairly cut-down debian with Openbox + Rox-Filer for my main computers, and XFCE on my laptop.

You need to drag the end of the segment, not just click. Alternatively from the top level menu:
Composition->Change Composition Start and End

Pretty good I'd say

ARRRGH! Noooo! Must... turn... it... off.
That was just too cruel.
Quck, back to Sid's version... Ahhh! That's better.

Most places I either have a link to my website in my sig, of in my forum profile :) I think it would be a good idea if everyone did that, although with all that potential listening I don't know how I'd find time to do anything else :lol: P.S. My website is absolutely minimal, but has no javascript a...

"Snowflakes are Dancing" especially "The Old Castle" "Tomita's Planets" set volume to 11 for "Mars" :) P.S. Somewhere on youtube there is a short excerpt of him building his classic whistle sound for "When you wish upon a star" found it :) https://ww...

One of the synthesiser pioneers is no longer with us. Someone who was one of my musical heroes, and a great inspiration
R.I.P. Mr Tomita, and I shall raise a glass in your honour.

Ummm. Most MIDI messages are 3 bytes. I can't remember the exact details but it's something like command, channel, value. So that comes out at around 1mS. Therefore, if you use both hands and play a 6 note chord, the minimum time spread between all notes will be something like 6mS.

I have one of the original 2x2s and have had no problems with various versions of debian up to and including the current testing - with and without {spit} pulse audio.

At the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure your MIDI cables are OK, and that your hardware is actually sending MIDI data?

Ah yes. I'd forgotten about the fixed/auto channel business. In the latest versions of Rosegarden 'fixed' is the default, but you may need to double-check with older saved projects.

Are you using the default General midi playback device in Rosegarden? If so create a new one. Rosegarden makes some unjustified assumptions and sends a nest of CCs to set GM stuff. Recent versions also send a bunch of CCs at the start of every new segment on a track. I've complained about this on th...

Not only do ports share internal hubs, but those hub may be sharing interrupts too. I always try to have usb audio on the least contested ones, and things like mouse, keyboard etc. on something more congested.
Look at:
lsusb
and:
cat /proc/interrupts

Most of what you are asking here is a matter of configuration that is possible with just about all combinations of sequencer and synth. On my setup at home I switch on, and Yoshimi starts up and loads my preferred patch set. Immediately after that Rosegarden loads, and is configured to automatically...

Missed that. I think I was watching something else - Choices! Who needs them

Interesting composition. Thanks for sharing.
