Ok, I think I understand where the confusion comes from. If you think about MIDI channels and events as they are represented in MIDI editors, then your point makes some sense. The user interface of editors usually give you the impression that events are contained in channels, because that makes editing and understanding the concepts easier to grasp for the user. But that is not the level of abstraction we are dealing with here. At the API level, we are at a much lower level of abstraction. In this context, it makes no sense to say that channels contain events. But that doesn't mean that those channels are not MIDI channels, it is simply a different context and concept. > Why don't you all relent, admit you are wrong, and change the synth > documentation to indicate that the synth inputs are SYNTH channels i.e. > FSchans as I have called them. Quite frankly: that is a weird (and a little rude) question to ask. You seem to imply that we argue against your point for the sake of it. But that is not the case... I think your argument isn't valid because it comes from the wrong level of abstraction and is based on contexts that are not applicable here.
