I've tried to find in the timidity manpage how to accomplish this, but no luck so far: I generated a three-voice file with the old Rosegarden, and exported it as a MIDI file. The three voices each take one staff, to which I assigned different patches. When I play the file on CLI, just as basic and straightforward as you please, I hear the three parts with different instruments, no problem. The feedback I get from the prompt lists Track 1, Track2, Track 3, logically enough. If I specify a different patch with the -P option, all three voices (in the polyphonic sense) have the same timbre-- the one I specified with the P switch. The burning question: How can I specify a different patch for different tracks? If it's in the manual, tell me where? Thanks! Cheers, Mark ===== -- Seek professional help!
