Yes, because that's the desired (default) behavior for the majority of all DAW plugin users. Like I said, no matter which DAW and plugin standard you are using, nowadays you create a separate DAW track for each sound. Which has the advantage that you don't have to worry about MIDI channels at all, which would be error prone. And in fact, I realized that more and more younger people are not even aware about what a "MIDI channel" is, due to that circumstance. > I was expecting the latter functionality, but I suspect this is an "issue" > with Rosegarden, as opposed to LinuxSampler.* Which is not a problem. What I described is the default behavior for LinuxSampler. When you launch plugin instances, they appear to the sampler as separate MIDI ports. But nobody forces you to use them. For the small minority of users [ you ;-) ] who want a different plugin behavior: Like I said, simply launch your plugin instances, then open QSampler and modify the sampler internal MIDI routing as desired. So you can also hook up several sampler parts (a.k.a. channel strips in QSampler) to one MIDI input port of your plugin instances, and also the other way around, one sampler part (channel strip) to several MIDI input ports. And then select for each sampler part a specific MIDI channel and that's it. Then when you save your song, the entire sampler setup will automatically be stored with your DAW song file and vice versa; the entire sampler setup will automatically be restored when you load your song in your DAW again [ok, at least if Rosegarden supports state saving of plugins].
