Very much like my setup :-) except I work on one host so use alsamidi. > how do people setup their favorite tones to be in the default > 1st 16 channels?

I'd do two ways: either with a file piped into muscript $ cat foo midi channel 0 patch 35 midi channel 1 bank 87,65 patch 56 midi channel 3 patch 4 pan 20 chorus 70 midi channel 4 patch 11 pan 80 etc; and then, before playing, use it with $ muscript -midi foo | aplaymidi - or if you need more control of your controllers, with midiedit: $ muscript -midi foo > foo.mid $ midiedit foo.mid and then, before playing, use it with $ aplaymidi foo.mid See: http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/index.html#midi http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/midiedit.html http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html Hope this helps, Peter Billam http://www.pjb.com.au p...@pjb.com.au (03) 6278 9410 "Follow the charge, not the particle." -- Richard Feynman from The Theory of Positrons, Physical Review, 1949 _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
