Hi! I don't know about various sound canvuses, but to my admittedly unprofessional ears, midi playback under SL is some of the best quality I've ever heard. I actually made an mp3 demonstrating the problem, so will attach a link for you to download it from my dropbox. The difference is like night and day, that's for sure. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1770137/midi%20playback%20issues.zip I hope this answers your questions, and good luck finding a way to downgrade. I almost wish I could get a refund on my purchase of lion; in many ways, it's been nothing but a tremendous disappointment. Take care, and I hope that you're having a great day! Missy

What sound canvas does it use and which player do the files open in? I'm still thinking of downgrading if I can get my hands on a retail copy of the DVD.

I still haven't figured out how or why Apple broke them under Lion, but they broke them very badly. > As for vlc, you just need to download a sound font and then go into > vlc configuration.
