I used to use Cakewalk on a small Windows partition
for composing
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.

No, it has correct patch/instrument assignments. The instruments
literally sound out of tune in some places. In other places there are
extra notes that mostly sound like random junk.
I originally thought it was data corruption, but as I went through my
various files, it's very unlikely that so many have the same kinds
of errors.
Moreover, it seems to particularly affect some horns - trombone is
awfully wrong! I thought it might have to do with transposition - but
I usually wrote in concert pitch and would change it just to print a
part.

that you are using? Maybe it's not rosegarden at all, but the synth
