That turns out to be an interesting question. What I had to do with "Bogus Surf Jam," "Stormy Riders" and the "Mandolin Sonatina" was start by going into the device manager dialog (Studio -> Manage MIDI Devices) to point the playback device connection at something appropriate. However, that wasn't the whole solution. I had to go over to my Roland Sound Canvas and physically issue a "Reset GS" command to "warm boot" the thing before any of these files would play. I don't see why at all, and I'm mystified. The channel remapping business shouldn't have caused that, but maybe it did. It's very puzzling indeed. All I can suggest is that the equivalent of warm booting my synth, translated to your situation, is telling QSynth to restart the synth engine. Load one of the offending files, restart QSynth's engine, and then use the MIDI device manager to make sure the playback device is still connected to QSynth. Hit play, and hopefully you'll experience joy. In any case, I thought I audited all of our example files, and replaced all the ones that had their channels out of whack. I apparently missed some! I've saved the remapped versions of these three, and some others, and hopefully when these go out with the next release of Rosegarden, this whole problem will be less likely to crop up for new users experimenting with Rosegarden out of the box. I regret being unable to provide a really satisfying explanation of what's going on here. This is causing trouble I hadn't imagined could even be possible. I can see having to reboot my synth once after being left in a bad state (eg. invalid program changes, controllers set to something out of bounds, etc.), but when changing between files? Each and every time? That just doesn't make any sense at all. -- D.
