hi, i am new to midi and to rosegarden.. I like the app a lot, but I am hav=
ing one problem that is keeping me from using it to its full potential.=0D=
=0A=0D=0A In rosegarden, I create two tracks and MIDI events (notes) inform=
ation on them. Track 1 is assigned to MIDI channel 1, and is assigned (in =
RG) to Acoustic Grand. Track 2 is assigned to midi channel 2, and is a dif=
ferent instrument, say slap bass. This all appears OK, but I am having tro=
uble getting my synth to do the right thing (so technically i don't think i=
t is a problem with rosegarden, it's user error)=0D=0A=0D=0A my synth (enso=
niq e-prime) supposedly has plenty of tracks, channels, multi timbral etc. =
all things I dont fully understand but I assume that it should be able to =
play the acoustic grand track and the slap bass track simultaneously. But =
I cannot get it to do so. =0D=0A=0D=0A I can get it to ignore the channel =
2 (by default it wants to recieve all MIDI info over channel 1???) or I can=
set it to read from all tracks, but it plays it back using the current ins=
trument on the synth, rather than taking the instruments from RG. So in e=
ffect it ignores the instrument definitions from RG and just plays whatever=
instrument on the synth, say alto sax, for both channels. I have tried al=
l combinations and no success.=0D=0A=0D=0A Admittedly I am a midi newbie, b=
ut i have read the RG info and the synth info and I am definitely missing s=
omething. If someone could point me in the right direction i could get bac=
k to writing my great masterpiece :)=0D=0A=0D=0A thanks!!=0D=0A=0D=0A
