Hello from Washington State

Greetings. I've been an amateur musician and vocalist for 40+ years, worked in computer hardware/administration/software (DevOps, mostly Microsoft Stack) for 30+ years. Got into Linux about 5-6 years ago and currently running Linux Mint/Cinnamon. After years of being away from MIDI/electronic music, decided to get back into it and got my Mint system connected to my Technics PR603M digital piano, currently working with RoseGarden.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I just had RG puke in the middle of a session which didn't leave me warm and fuzzy :| I was editing a note in Matrix Editor and it just disappeared. So, guess I'll look around at some others sequencers. I'm early enough into this that I am not yet invested in any particular software and willing to try something else.

I thought you were going to say "guess I'll look at the core dump and see if I can find out what went wrong."

Seriously though, don't give up just because of one crash - it might be that you're running an old release and there has been a subsequent bug fix.

There has in fact been a lot of development in the last 6 months or so. And it's centered mostly on obscure bug fixes - very successfully!
I would recommend grabbing the source and building
