| It has been mentioned on occasion that you can use Rosegarden without jackd. I have already written a howto on configuring timidity to use a nicer soundfont than the standard issue so that it can be used to make sound in Rosegarden without using jackd. see[[http://rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/setting_up_the_fluidr3_gm.sf2_for_timidity]] | It has been mentioned on occasion that you can use Rosegarden without jackd.

| This is using Rosegarden classic 1.7.3. for the images but it works the same for me in Thorn, except the studio is not already populated with midi devices. You have to add your own new devices. | This is using Rosegarden classic 1.7.3. for the ima:-)ges but it works the same for me in Thorn, except the studio is not already populated with midi devices.

| This page is intended to show how to set up fluidsynth (or rather its GUI version Qsynth) so that Rosegarden can use that as its sound engine. It is perhaps a more versatile option as you can have many instances of qsynth using different soundfonts. I am sure you can do this with timidity but it is not as clear how to do it as with qsynth. | This page is intended to show how to set up fluidsynth (or rather its GUI version Qsynth) so that Rosegarden can use that as its sound engine.

| You might notice that I have tabs with Qsynth1, 2 ,3 etc. at the bottom of the window. These are different instances of Qsynth that I have configured to use different soundfonts. | You might notice that I have tabs with Qsynth1, 2 ,3 etc. at the bottom of the window. These are different instances of Qsynth that I have configured to use different soundfonts. Also I you will notice that somewhere I do not have qsynth settings right. If someone knows how I can improve my settings I would appreciate it. :-/ |

| Leave the default device empty. Not sure what it does but when I put hw:0 (which is my soundcard) Qsynth6 would not start up. | Leave the default device empty. Not sure what it does but when I put hw:0 (which is my soundcard) Qsynth6 would not start up. |
