Nikodimka,

Sorry that I am not familiar with Bristol, but have been delighted with the
interoperability of these applications:

Alsa, Jack, iiwusynth, fluid-r3-gm.sf2, Muse, Ardour, qjackconnect, and kaconnect.

If I launch iiwusynth like this:

iiwusynth -a alsa -m alsa_seq -V /usr/local/lib/soundfonts/fluid-r3-gm.sf2

key in gain 1.2 and prog 0 17

open kaconnect and connect my MidiSport interface box port to the iiwusynth port (72:0
to 128:0)

turn on my CPS-101 and play away. Awesome Hammond organ sound and a display of all
MIDI events scrolling in the xterm.

If I do the same with Jack (iiwusynth -a jack etc.) I can connect meterbridge with
qjackconnect and have a couple of VU meters running on the screen as I play

meterbridge -r -12 -t vu iwysynth:left iiwusynth:right

Now, if I open the MIDI sequencer MusE, I can connect to the external soft synth under
its ports dialog, and if I open Ardour, I can connect a couple of routes to the output
of MusE and record wave files!

Awesome!

Frank
