Thanks Guys,
I had assumed a clearer separation between volume and expression. I guess
I expected to see expression events throughout the file, but assumed that I
should not see volume events apart from in the header.
Interestingly, I found yesterday that both of my sample files work
perfectly on an old version of Cakewalk.
This would suggest that Cakewalk is handling things differently.
I had always thought that a midi file was being read in near real time, so
intro at beginning of file and end at end of file.
>From what I think I'm seeing now, it appears that the whole file is read in
and parsed before start of play,
and the file structure is per instrument rather than in time order.
Once I know for certain what is happening, I could probably write a script
in Perl or C to re-parse the midi file.
Thanks again for all your inputs.
Regards,
Paul.
