Rosegarden and Pipe Organ MIDI recording

If you want to use Rosegarden for recording and playback of Pipe Organ MIDI there are a couple of details you need to watch out for.
Rosegarden defaults to recording all channels to one track. You can record to separate tracks as follows:

• Double-click on the first track to rename it (e.g. Swell)
• Under Recording Filters select your MIDI device
• Select the channel (e.g. 1 for Swell - this varies with each system)
• Repeat with a new track for each manual/pedal

Now when you record you should see each manual on a separate track. If you get nothing then check that the Record Arm light (next to each track name) is on.

To get the playback to work correctly (and MIDI File Export) you need to configure the playback channel as well.

• Select the first track (Swell in our example)
• Under Playback Parameters select your MIDI device
• Under Instrument, select the instrument number that corresponds to the playback channel you want to use (e.g. Instrument #1 for Swell)
• Repeat for the other tracks
