Hi fedora-music lovers,
I would be keen for some feedback on whether rakarrack that is now in
fedora testing works for you ?
To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your
soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful.
Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD
machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to
push it to the F8,F9 updates repos.

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here:
http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/
I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show
up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being
automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere!

Trying to find out whether (and how) Fluidsynth works.
Audacious' "amidi" plugin is built upon fluidsynth-libs.
Fluidsynth itself doesn't work in Fedora 10. There's an open ticket
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/500087 (Fluidsynth doesn't work with
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio) where a version upgrade is being suggested.
Audacious' amidi plugin (package "audacious-plugins-amidi") doesn't
work out-of-the-box, because one must configure it to choose between
hardware MIDI via ALSA and Fluidsynth as a software-synth backend.
When choosing Fluidsynth, one needs to point it at sound fonts. With
the included VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2 I get bad [very distorted]
playback only.
