Mine is set to fixed. I seem to recall having problems when it was set
to auto. I don't remember what they were now. Maybe it was overriding
settings in Zyn or Yoshimi?
I have one digital keyboard workstation synth set up. I just use it as a
keyboard, and to output its built-in sounds (Yamaha and GM). Mostly I
use Yoshimi.
Would auto be useful for the drum channels? But even then, you might
have an assortment of drum instruments available (external synths, drum
machines, Yoshimi, etc). Which one would auto grab for the drum channel?
I don't use a drum machine or the drum channel, so really have no idea
what I'm talking about there. But guessing is always fun! ;)
Unless maybe auto was turned into "automatically connect however the RG
studio is set up"? Or does RG already do that?

The idea was to allow rosegarden to allocate channels as needed on a
synth to make it appear as if there were more than 16.
In practice, it was a rather complicated change to the code that
wasn't fully tested before it was merged.
You can achieve the same effect manually by including bank
switch/program changes at the beginning of your segments.
We could remove that combobox and only make it appear based on an
experimental preference. That would be less confusing. If no one
objects. Votes for/against would be helpful.
Input from anyone who currently uses "Auto" mode on a regular basis
would also be helpful.

Is this feature useful? What's it useful for? All I remember is that
when it appeared in Rosegarden, it would randomly break my songs
until I manually set everything to Fixed (because back then Auto was
default)
And now my experience is, it randomly breaks my songs when I misclick
with my mouse and accidentally change a channel from Fixed to Auto.
So, what is this feature ever useful for?
