For those looking for support for musicians using Linux try Studio To Go from Fervent Software (http://www.ferventsoftware.com). It's a LiveCD based on Knoppix with a kernel tweaked for audio use. It costs 60 GBP, but well worth it if you're serious about MIDI or digital audio running on Linux. It should work with any MIDI-compliant hardware. I've successfully used it with my Yamaha DGX-205 keyboard; I was easily able to set up Rosegarden to take MIDI inputs from the keyboard.

Me again , I was wrong earlier , the JAZZ Sequencer(available at www.jazzware.com as gnu license) does work on DSL ,only thing I had to do was editing the config file from ALSA to OSS , so at least I am able to play midi files over a midi-synth.

Me again :D , the thing made me curious , so I tried timidity. Aynone else having troubble compiling source under dsl ? I get error messages like "no hosttype specified" , yes so what host type may I need ?Silly stuff , I just wanted to run a simple program. I searched and searched for a binary and finally found one at      ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pupget_packages-1 (, yes I just borrowed a puppy package :laugh:)
The files have to be moved manually from the extracting folder, then in EMELFM go to the directory where your midifiles are , type "timidity "+ yourmidifile.mid , and I think it sounds pretty good .The program does actually nothing but playing , no edit screen or gui around , I am curious if anybody got timidity++ running ? I am also thankfull for any tip how to make those src files compile on my system , got gcc already , so what else would be recommended ?
Thanks a lot
