I've finally worked out how to use two keyboards recording to two different tracks with two different voices at the same time, but through one instance of Rosegarden and with sounds from one of yoshimi. Also I have a new instrument sound, that I call Solo.
So now I can freely record a genuine two handed improv, hearing as I play exactly the same as it will playback. Up to now I've had to record to a single sound, then split out the left hand.
So, here we are with my first free-form tune played exactly as I felt the notes coming.
Now, do I do anything with it or leave it alone?

Change what? Sounds wonderful to me!
Can you share your setup in a bit more detail? I'm wondering why 2 keyboards? Couldn't you just split one left/right?
Thanks for sharing this tune. Very calming!

A nice serene & soothing platform to build on-so I say stick with it and mush on!  My guess is that you are using two different keyboards,due to the specific sounds that each of them have? -Thom |

Will, this sounds great. I wish that I could do something like this in one pass!
Personally I think this is fantastic as is and I wouldn’t change a thing!

Thanks everyone for your support.
@bvdp
Hardware synths I have are Sound canvas, Yamaha SY35, Yamaha QS300, each going to their own MIDI port on my DAW. Apart from the Sound Canvas - and that mostly for percussion - I hardly ever use the built-in sounds but just treat them and MIDI sources.
As far as I know it's not possible to split a keyboard MIDI-wise, and in any case, in the past, using the instruments native sounds I found I could never get a split in the right place and my hands were always getting in the way of each other!
Typically, I want to put ch. 1 coming from the QS300 and ch. 2 from the SY35. Putting these directly on tracks 1 & 2 of Rosegarden and having that sending to corresponding channels of yoshimi gives me the full range I want.

As a kid I lived out in the sticks with little ability to get amongst my school pals, who all lived miles away, so I tended to spend a lot of time noodling around on a piano. I think that was what gave me the familiarity with keyboards now. Even so, I can only do this stuff when everything is just right - and can never discover what 'just right' is at any one time!

Well, I couldn't leave it alone  Using the same recording method I've created an intro, and a small insert near the end, with just enough editing for everything to fit. That was the easy bit. The hard bit was trying to play a bass line against the rest  I think I've succeeded but that did require a lot of retakes and retries! Anyway, the new version is here. |

Well I was wrong. This is better than the other version.
Now don’t change a thing!
