 Hm. I have never seen this. What is the output from 'which startBristol'?

I was doing startBristol locally ./startBristol. The previous version is 
on /usr/local/bin.

 Multiitimbral. How did you close the synth window? If you do it with ^C, or
 destroy the window then  I do not always have a change to remove the synth
 from the engine. It then lingers on the same midi channel. This was half
 intentional, to allow for multitimbral support, but killing the GUI from
 the window titlebar should result in a graceful remove of the emulation as
 well as the GUI. 
I will retry this. I believe I clicked the title-bar [x] to close them. GUI 
disappeared, sounds did not.

  4. Some of the
synths get no sound. 
 Ah, that may have been me. Some of the default synth memories have volume
 set to zero - I needed to use them to test the ARP 2600 which has no
 keyboard. The up/down memory keys should load the first available one. I
 will fix this in the next upload, it may also be an issue with a late
 enhancement: the -load <memory index> will allow you to set the first
 memory location. Default value is 'zero', but some of the synths do not
 have a memory number zero since they take 'bank' numbers that start from
 '1'. 
I noticed this as well. Maybe I just could not figure out how to work them. I 
needed to set the volume on those that did work. Setting a patch go another 
to work. Others, no success but that might be me. Never used the real ones.
