FYI, the '''Maudio Fasttrack Pro''' is a good usb interface and "works out of the box" (after a couple of Jack server settings)... There is also a cheaper version for approx $87 CDN, but lacks MIDI connection (which may not be a problem since newer MIDI musical keyboards are USB anyways...)
Since I want to keep things simple, I have decided to not use any USB peripheral (other than the USB midi musical keyboard), and connect the netbook audio output directly to the amplifier. '''This can be done with the use of a 1/8 " stereo (male) to RCA "Y-adapter (female)"''' which can be purchased from "The Source" or from certain "Dollar Stores - they are cheap".
'''Here is a link to the Y-adapter for reference:''' [ [ http://www.ramelectronics.net/audio-video/adapters/rca-to-1-8-3-5mm-adapters/35-586g/prod35586G.html y-adaptor] ]
You will also then need a RCA (male) to 1/4 inch jack (male) cable. I prefer a long one so that it can reach the amplifier. You only really need to plug in one jack to the amplifier since it is Mono.<br />Below is a link to this product for reference: [ [http://www.zzounds.com/item--HOSCPR20 RCA to 1/4 inch Jack Cable] ]
=== Setup / Configuration ===

The organ emulator called '''Bristol Organ''' can simply be run via the '''startBristol''' command ''(after the Jack audio server has been started)''. To simplify the process of starting jack audio server, launching and making input/output connections for both '''Qsynth''' and several '''Bristol Organ''' emulations, it is easier to place commands into a '''Bash shell script''' and run shell script as a program!
