Rosegarden and qsynth

[cajzell]

Hello,

I am running Rosegarden and want to use qsynth, but with separate instruments for some channels. The problem is, when I change program to qsynth, the same program applies to the other MIDI channels as well. So, I cannot use drums and bass from qsynth at the same time.

So, I figured I start another instance of qsynth, but that was not possible because I immediately get "Failed to create the audio driver (jack). Cannot continue without it." for each subsequent start attempt of qsynth.

There is probably a namespace problem with qtsyths client name.
Does it have an option allowing you to change the jack name? If
not email the developers and ask them.

Thanks for the tip!

Anyhow, I realized I changed qsynths programs the wrong way in Rosegarden, which caused the problem. Changing them per channel on the track-bar, instead of the leftermost pane which changes the instruments oerall setting, enabled me to run qsynth with one program per channel.
