Re: No sound using timidity

Michael,
I would also like to use Timidity for the simple reason that it seems to come bundled with Rosegarden.
In fact I am using Qsynth because it is the only thing which gives me sound.

I have Rosegarden configured so that it automatically starts JACK for me, which is very convenient.
Then I go into Patchage and see that Timidity is connected to the General Midi out, which is what
Rosegarden uses for a default. So I disconnect Timidity and connect Qsynth and everything works.

The thing is I would like to make it completely automatic for my wife's use, since she understands music and not computers. If I could get Timidity to work it would be very simple for her: double click on a rosegarden file and up comes Rosegarden all configured properly. Not start Rosegarden, start Qsynth, start Patchage and then make the proper connections.

I suspect Timidy might be missing a sound font, but try as I may, either my efforts to install one haven't worked, or something else is wrong.

In any case Rosegarden is fantastic software, even though there is MUCH to learn.
