I don't have time to get into it, but this makes me wonder what happens when you load an existing file and doctor it so it will play on your current setup a couple years later. Such doctoring is extremely common, and shouldn't cause all the controllers to reset to default values. I bet we don't make any attempt to preserve values though, and every different device definition you load could have different controllers. Let's say you had "Roland SC-33" loaded in the top slot, and you change it to "General MIDI" or something. It happens to have most of the same controllers, but does Rosegarden know and do anything about that? What *should* happen to pan and volume? Pan, volume, reverb and chorus are four legacy controllers that were originally treated differently too. No suggestions here, no looking at anything or experimentation, just idle pondering on my way out the door and nothing more. -- D.
