Hi Michael, I'll try to summarize and be a little more detailed. I did some tests again with the latest SVN build.
- Connect "General MIDI Device" to gmidimonitor (but any midi monitor will do) - Create a 2 bar segment with notes - Check the "repeat" segment ( this is totally irrelevant to the channel problem - it's just useful to set up lots of playback quickly, sorry if it generated confusion ) - Play - Instrument is set to #1 and channel is correctly 1 - Select a different instrument (channel) from the Instrument dropdown _while playing_ _This_ seems to be the problem. Until you stop and re-start play the channel is unchanged. I also noticed that now Channel is set to fixed by default for a new file (but I think this actually is irrelevant to the problem) So all that noise seems to sum up to: Instrument/channel won't be updated during playback. Hope it's clearer now. Should I add a bug report? Lorenzo. On 21/10/12 16:30, D.

I'm not trying to think about that one yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
