Some remarks on MIDI stuff.

 Run Fluid-Synth. >_  sudo fluidsynth --server --audio-driver=alsa -o audio.alsa.device=hw:0 /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 Run Timidity. >_  sudo timidity -iA Timidity vs Fluid-Synth. In my case, Fluid-Synth works out of the box w/o extra efforts. Whether real-time Linux kernel is worthy, huh? Absolutely Nope: user-space is major provider of latencies. What about Jack?    Mostly useless too: theoretically it makes possible sophisticated rerouting of midi/audio ports, but in Practice, for simple/cheap systems, it just causes greater lags & extra load on cpu as well.. Professional sound-making studios are always the matter of hardware ;D MIDI to WAV. 1stly, export or re-export midi from Rosegarden to set instruments in, then.. >_ sudo fluidsynth -F /tmp/Universum\ Vox.wav /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 /tmp/Universum\ Vox.mid or  >_ sudo timidity /tmp/Universum\ Vox.mid -Ow --output-stereo
