I use ZynAddSubFX for lots of stuff, but I have no idea how to control any of
its parameters from Rosegarden. I guess I just muddle through, and/or I'm
too ignorant and unrefined to understand why what I'm doing sounds horrible
to a more delicate ear.

I think MusE speaks JACK Transport. For this application, that's probably
what you'd need to do.
Looks like not, or if it's there, I don't see it. They do support MIDI
syncing though, and I think we do too. I've never actually used that before.
Let's see... I go to Settings -> Midi Sync and select (*) Slave in MusE (the
version that ships with Ubuntu 8.04. I have no idea if it's the latest
version or not.)
Then in Rosegarden I go to Settings -> Configure Rosegarden, on the MIDI page,
the MIDI Sync tab. Being totally ignorant, I guess that I want to set them
to:
Send MIDI Clock, Start and Stop
Send MMC Master
Send MTC Master
[x] Automatically connect sync outputs to all devices in use
Hit play and...
No joy. Half an hour later, still no joy. I have no idea what I'm doing, and
I don't know which part of the chain is broken here. I've never had to use
the old timey MIDI sync stuff for anything in my life. In the modern
Rosegarden era, when I do need to sync things, I'm used to everything
speaking JACK Transport.
Alas.
Oh well, I tried. You're going to need a real MIDI expert from here, instead
of just someone who plays one on TV. Assuming MusE can even do this thing
you want, which I would establish before going any further with this quest if
I were you.
