Hi,

I'm having a major problem with dynamics in MIDI files.  On
my Yamaha SW60XG MIDI card, the difference between quiet and
loud is way too large (many orders of magnitude), so the
quiet is inaudible and the loud is deafening.

As an example of how bad this sounds, here is standchen.midi
(downloaded from the v2.0 documentation "examples" section)
played on my card and recorded to OGG format.
http://access.ucam.org/nobackup/bugdemo.ogg (248k)
(available for limited time - please take a copy if needed)

I think the velocity levels of the different dynamics should
be customisable, or at least their range should be
customisable.  Or at least it should be set to less than it
is at the moment.  XG MIDI cards are quite common.

Best wishes,            Silas
