There's probably a 'proper' way to do this, but I just close Rosegarden, then move all the files into the dsame directory as the .rg file. Next time you open it seems to find them OK, and also then saves any future files there. > 3. Themes? I like the simple UI, but the colours are a bit bright for my > dark studio.

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

When I was at school they had a pair of proper coke fired forges, and one of the pieces we were taught to make was a poker from round bar. Jumped up end then squared off and made into a pyramid point. Tapered down the other end, rolled it back and curled the taper round the stock. Had it for years, even though I didn't have an open fire! Over here, kids today don't even get to see a forge, let alone actually use it. -- 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
