I used to use Cakewalk on a small Windows partition

work. Now, I'm trying to take the midi files I'd exported from
Cakewalk and play them using rosegarden/fluidsynth/pmidi.
My songs sounds like a cacophony. Things are so wrong - it sounds
truely horrible.
I downloaded some MIDI files from around the internet and they all
play normally. Is is possible Cakewalk has some SysEx events in there
that pmidi/rosegarden are interpreting as notes?
Cause damn. I didn't write this stuff!
This is a common problem. Midi exported from a program either lacks and
"program" (patches) commands or the importing program ignores them. In
Rosegarten, go to each track and reselect the instrument, bank, etc. Then it
should play.
