Found the Yoshimi.rgd but I have no ~/.local/share/rosegarden/library folder to put it into. I'm working with Suse Tumbleweed right now using Yoshimi-2.2.0 and rosegarden-22.06 which are both bleeding-edge. So, following my usual procedure > > 1 start qjackctl > 2 start qsynth > 3 start yoshimi standalone > > I can fiddle with yoshimi and even load a patch and play its virtual keyboard. I could do exactly the same with Zybaddsubfx standalone but will now just keep things simple, so > > 4 start rosegarden > > In the qjackctl 'connect' window Yoshimi is connected to system, I also connect it to rosegarden (probably not needed). > > As a result there is no trace of yoshimi anything in rosegarden. The rosegarden "Manage MIDI Devices" window shows only a single General MIDI entry in the left Playback window and in MIDI-Outputs only two input ports as being available: 129:0 Synth-Input and 14:0 Midi-Through. There SHOULD be another port there for each standalone synth started, such as yoshimi OR zynadsubfx, as soon as I start Yoshimi but there isn't. THIS is my problem at this point (as far as I can tell). If I recall correctly, I had to start Yoshimi with the -A and -j options: -A, --alsa-audio[=<device>] Use ALSA audio output. -j, --jack-midi[=<device>] Use JACK MIDI input. But I was just now fiddling with things with RG 22.12 (freshly compiled) and Yoshimi 2.2 (freshly compiled) and I'm not seeing Yoshimi in RG although I can get sound from Yoshimi playing it's virtual keyboard or using my external keyboard. I seem to have lost my audio device somewhere in this process. I should never have tested pipewire - it messed things up and even uninstalling it and removing config hasn't fixed it. -- David W.
