[LAU] Weird behaviour with Calf Fluidsynth

Hi, Does anyone use Calf FluidSynth? I have used it for ages now with my home-grown midi sequencer, but have noticed odd behaviour just lately. This is to do with sending Program Change events. My sequence (and the MIDI protocol) expect channels to be numbered 0 - 15, though most programs and physical devices tend to refer to these as 1 - 16. That's not a problem for me. What is a problem is Fluidsynth now seems to be treating 0 - 15 as 2 - 17? I'm trying to sort out a midi file for a friend - generated by a Windows Package - and the file has 4 tracks (not counting track 0) for Violinx3, Viola and Cello. The midifile treats these as channels 0 - 3, at least initially. However, Fluidsynth, which always starts up with Piano for all channels (except 10) sets channels 2,3,4 and 5 to these devices. I've got a program to monitor the midi events sent over Jack and this convinces me that the Program Change events are specifying the right channels, so I can only assume that Fluidsynth is mapping 0 - 3 onto 2 - 5, which sounds like a bug. As it happens it turns out that when the midifile want to witch to pizzicato, it switches to channels 4-7 (5-8 in user terms) but hasn't specified a program for those channels! I found the Calf website not very helpful about fluidsynth, and I don't really want to get signed up to another email list to discuss bugs in fluidsynth. Just wondered if anyone on this list had come across this. Bill -- +----------------------------------------+ | Bill Purvis | | email: bill(a)billp.org | +----------------------------------------+
