It is not capable of recording from the external port. The authors seem to be sgi based, so there lower level stuff is completely different from ours. That's why rosegarden uses playmidi for output...sort of a hack, really! > Something with a programming language embedded in it would be ideal :-). that would defunitely be Mike Durians' tclmidi. His driver is *different* from the standard drivers, but he is notoriously helpful! greg wolodkin wrote a sequencer with tclmidi. It is not as sophisticated as rosegarden. it does work as expected however. do a web search, u should be able to find it. write me back if u cant find it. > Koshy > ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
