doc:device-manager-en [2010/01/09 09:07]
shelagh created. This is where the help button points to but the main doc points to http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/doc#studio-device-editor. Not sure what to do with this. Also I realise this may be overkill, but I would like to start somewhere and too much seems better than not enough. When I get more familiar with the way the wiki works and how the pieces fit together no doubt Ill revisit and change this. SOM |

| As described in the [[/#studio-introduction|Devices, Instruments and Connections]] section, by default Rosegarden tries to provide a plausible set of devices for you at startup, and to make sensible connections for those devices. But the default configuration might not always be suitable, and so this dialog allows you to rename devices and modify their connections and play/record direction. | As described in the [[doc:manual-en#devices_instruments_and_connections|Devices, Instruments and Connections]] section, by default Rosegarden tries to provide a plausible set of devices for you at startup, and to make sensible connections for those devices.

| Each of the play devices listed here provides a target for MIDI tracks to talk to: if you add a new play device, you will then have 16 new instruments on this device which you can assign tracks to. If you then assign a connection for that device, the tracks assigned to it will play to the appropriate channel (depending on the instrument) of any MIDI synth attached to that connection. | Each of the play devices listed here provides a target for MIDI tracks to talk to: if you add a new play device, you will then have 16 new instruments on this device which you can assign tracks to.
