Hi Michael, |
2 |
|
3 |
I will try (again) to be a friend of Jack (NOT "Daniels" ;) )... |
4 |
|
5 |
What I dont understand: Why all this hassle with Jack if Rosegarden |
6 |
has the ability to connect directly to Zynaddsubfx without any |
7 |
other gadget (see Studio->Manage Midi Devices, start Zynaddsubfx |
8 |
first)??? And if instructed so, why does this dialog still pops |
9 |
up and reminds me of a non existing Jack connection? |
10 |
|
11 |
I tried the masked version 11.06 of rosegarden: The same effect. |
12 |
|
13 |
I removed the "jack" USE-Flag from make.conf temporarily and |
14 |
rebuild rosegarden: No change. |
15 |
|
16 |
Ok, I will try jack...again...sigh. |
17 |
|
18 |
Best regards, |
19 |
