Unless somebody has finally created a keyboard input module for rosegarden ( 2.0 is the last release i have seen, and it does not do it, wish it did, cause otherwise rosegarden is totally ready for [prime time.. ), u are limited to jazz or tclmidi. Tclmidi is written by mike durian and a guy named greg wolodkin wrote a simple sequencer in tcl ( i would use it, except i *despise* tcl. period. ) for the tclmidi package. Needs special midi driver, but mike tells u how to install it in the readme. i would not reccomend jazz because it does not have a freebsd driver and it requires xviews, which i might hate more than tcl, but i am not sure. somebody(tm) needs to write a keyboard driver for rosegarden....
