There are plenty here who know more than I do, but here's my understanding: the doc says that, for file-driven performance, the instrument defaults to MIDI channel + 1. Obviously there is no MIDI channel 0, so instr 1 is only being triggered by the score, not the MIDI file. Maybe you need to have instr 2 call instr 18 and 19, if you want MIDI channel 1 to trigger two instruments? -Chuckk On 11/1/07, Rory Walsh wrote: > > I'm trying to play two instruments with data from one midi file but I > can't manage it.
