Aere: Thank you for the bug report. There are a few things I don't
understand about it.

I just checked and at least here, we're definitely reading saved pan
settings. Not just defaults, stuff like pan = 57. So I wonder what's
different in that situation.
Being reset to defaults (rather than to 0) seems like a clue. That is
something we're doing differently now in refreshForConnection /
conformInstrumentControllers (my responsibility, including fixing it if
it's at fault).
But it doesn't reset settings in general, it only does anything if you
change MIDI devices and a device parameter appears to be on a default
setting (ie, it's zero and the new device default is not zero).
But that doesn't seem to apply. You said you had saved pan settings
(etc), presumably not all zero. And it would only happen if your demo
file changed what device you're playing on (Eg, it output to a different
sound card than what you were sending MIDI to before you loaded that
savefile).
So my theory seems to be a bust, but I have no other theory.

OK, I'm not sure what to make of this.

Do you mean that RG did not consider the document modified, so it didn't
prompt to save on quit, etc? It always has. Which may be wrong, but hard
to fix.

That does sound annoying.
