Arrgh.. As I was saying, before Mozilla crashed on me (now using
Evolution, why I wasn't before..) Anyways..
Try iiwusynth (http://www.iiwu.org/iiwusynth/). It supports ALSA and
sound fonts. In the not so distant future (I hope) it will be integrated
with Smurf, but for now editing sound fonts is not such a pleasant
experience without an AWE/Live card. Sequencing them should be no
problem though. Just fire up iiwusynth with ALSA sequencer support and
you can manually connect a sequencer or virtual keyboard (like the Smurf
virtual keyboard) with aconnect ("man aconnect" for info). I haven't
tried it with the latest 0.9.0 but if you have troubles with it let me
know (I wrote the ALSA sequencer driver for it). I think MuSE has
support for directly using iiwusynth, so its probably worth a try.
Lates..
