Yes Peter, you are right.
Here is the code I posted yesterday on my 3 minutes to emulate Agent X,
which just do what you are saying:
on SBplay instrument, _tempo, notestring
sunnYmidi.Set 1, "instrument", instrumentID( instrument)
sunnymidi.HCplay 1, _tempo, notestring
end SBplay
on SBstartNote instrument, pitch, velocity
sunnYmidi.Set 1, "instrument", instrumentID( instrument)
sunnYmidi.Play, 1, -1, velocity, pitch
end SBstartNote
on SBstopNote instrument,pitch
sunnYmidi.Set 1, "instrument", instrumentID( instrument)
sunnYmidi.Play, 1, 0, 0, pitch
end SBstopNote
private function instrumentID instrument
-- assuming the ID is correct
if instrument is a number then return instrument
-- custom prop containing on each line: IDinstrument,InstrumentName
get the GM_Instruments of this stack
filter IT with "*," & instrument
if IT is empty then return 1 -- piano
return item 1 of IT -- the ID
end instrumentID
With the proof: ( copy-paste this script from Shakobox documentation)
on mouseup
-- "Nic's Russian Tune (Katyushka)" from "Knit Your Own Yoghurt"
