MIDI sequencers can do that?! But some testing shows that yes, you should file it as a bug, Lorenzo. It turns out that it definitely is a regression. 1. Go back to Rosegarden 11.02 2. Put some notes in a segment on track 1 and repeat, to get a long stream of notes 3. Start playing 4. Go change the program on channel 1 on your synth (probably requires hardware to repeat) and listen to your notes playing on, say, a flute 5. Go change the instrument on track 1 from #1 to #2. Now you hear piano. The instrument change was instantaneous, and with it the channel. It also sent the piano program at the instrument change, wiping out the program I had pre-selected for channel 2 on my synth, so I would say 11.02's behavior was far from perfect too. It did, however, change instruments instantly. Do this with anything after the logical instruments change, and you have to stop playback and restart to pick up the instrument change. (I think. Did not test this bit hands on as I'm running out of time.) I consider this an official regression, but I'm willing to accept "Holy crap, Batman, how the hell do we fix THAT?!" as an answer from Tom too. It's worth chasing as a regression, but if this were a new issue, I don't think I'd be giving this much thought. It's pretty high up there on the effort scale, and low on the reward per number of users scale. Let's see what Tom says. Tom, I'm writing fast, so if any of this has you scratching your head, don't rush off trying to code anything, and give me a chance to put together a calmer and more organized explanation what we're going on about. -- D.
