This does seem like sort of a problem.
For example, for my own use, I will probably use Softsynth sounds by
default, because my RAM is limited, but I would like to use GPO every
now and then to hear what it sounds like. In theory, if your channels
are set up correctly, you can just switch output between GPO and Softsynth.
BUT...Softsynth (i.e., GM) percussion plays back on channel 10, and
GPO won't let you use channel 10. So for anything including
percussion, there are several steps involved (not just a switch) in
changing between Softsynth and GPO. I understand the various reasons
behind this, but I think it was poor planning on Makemusic's part not
to provide some kind of automated way of making this happen.
