The problem was that if your synth stored bank settings as part of its setup if Rosegarden then changes that to what it considers a default, any later program changes will come from the wrong bank. This becomes worse for modern synths that recognise both bank LSB and MSB (most of the older ones didn't). If you are working on a project and keep going back to the start, it gets mighty annoying if Rosegarden keeps resetting everything, especially if you are *not* doing any bank/program changes and want to keep the synth's last manually configured settings. It seems every sequencer taks a different approach to this. One (that shall remain nameless) instructs the synth to load it's preserved state file, then immediately proceeds to change everything! Defensive measures we've had to employ with Yoshimi are a group of switches that can be set to independently ignore bank MSB, bank LSB, program change, reset all controllers. There was something similar with volume and pan when you have multiple segments on the same track. These would be reset every time a new segment started while actually playing the whole track. MIDI a standardised control system that nobody actually agrees on! -- W J G ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
