How to play/stop MIDI files?

Forums

Hello. I'm new to this forum.
I know I can use Qsynth as the output of MIDI controllers and other apps, but how do you play MIDI files directly?
I just discovered you can drag and drop, but is this the only way? And how do you stop the playback? I don't see any sort of transport controls in the interface.
Thanks

disable mod wheel in Qsynth

Forums

Hi! I am trying to use Qsynth with the Calf Plugin. I want to use my Modulation Wheel to control Calf without having the Mod Wheel affect Qsynth. How can i disable the Mod Wheel in Qsynth, or what command do I use in terminal to start Qsynth with the Mod Wheel completely disabled? (In fact, how would i disable the sustain pedal if I wished?)

Thanks!

qsynth failed to create audio driver

Forums

fluidsynth works fine with:
fluidsynth -a pulseaudio -o audio.alsa.device=hw:1 -m alsa_seq -l -i .fonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2 Music/teddybear.mid
qsynth fails with:
Qsynth1: Failed to create the audio driver (pulseaudio).
I've tried to use setup to set everything in Qsynth the same as the fluidsynth settings but something isn't right. Any suggestion?
runnning fedora 17. I'm aiming for the simplest setup possible: one user, one input, one output.
Thanks,
Dave
