Re: [Rosegarden-user] Lost instrument settings
Mystery solved! The Korg-M3-GM device is not used in this composition but all of the unused RG tracks had defaulted to this device so RG was sending out a set of PCs for this device after the set for the EDS device. As both are connected to the same physical device (midi port), the second set were overwriting the first. I don't know where the particular GM instrument numbers were coming from (default device?) but they were not relevant to the composition in any case. Deleting the GM device resolved the issue and the piece now plays properly under v17.12. In future, if I have multiple M3 devices connected I will ensure that any spare RG tracks are deleted or set to a null device. Thanks for all the help. RG is a fantastic resource. If anyone reading this thread is interested in hearing the piece concerned it is my rendition of a track from Frank Zappa's 'Hot Rats' album from 1969 (little Umbrellas). https://soundcloud.com/user-869419971/little-umbrellas Chuck.

[Resending because this hasn't appeared on the user list. Sorry if duplicate...] On 07/20/2017 12:15 PM, Ted Felix wrote: Do you have two devices connected to the same port? From digging through the .rg file, it appears that you do: Korg-M3-GM -> "20:0 E-MU XMidi2X2 MIDI 1 (duplex)" Korg-M3-EDS -> "20:0 E-MU XMidi2X2 MIDI 1 (duplex)" M1 -> "20:1 E-MU XMidi2X2 MIDI 2 (duplex)" This is probably why you are seeing two channel setups going out to the M3 with 16.02. With later versions, you shouldn't see that. Or you will only see it where there is a channel conflict in your tracks. I.e. two tracks pointing to the same channel on the M3 but using the two different devices (Korg-M3-GM and Korg-M3-EDS). Limitations in 16.02 make it difficult to do the above. The only way that comes to my mind is to combine the device files for each. This was fixed in 16.06 and channel setups only go out for channels that have tracks.
