Hi,

I have run into a couple of problems when using the fluid opcodes.
I am using the fluid opcodes with a gm soundfont to perform midi files.
I use two instruments, one always on containing the fluidOut opcode,
and another which processes the midi messages.

In order to pass program changes on to fluid synth, I am using:

ichn midichn
midiprogramchange iprogram
fluidControl giengine, 192, ichn, iprogram, 0

Two things happen here. Firstly, the following line
(or similar for different channels) is constantly posted
to the output during midi performances.

Result: 0 Program change: c:  3 p:  6

Secondly, I had a number of tracks, and in each, the first note
would be played with the default voice (I loaded piano into each
fluidsynth channel in the header). I get around this by explicitly
sending the program change in the score before playing the midi file,
but this is quite ugly.

Does anyone have any ideas as to the reason for either of these.
Im using csound 5.12 on OSX intel.

Thanks,
 Joel

Thanks for the information. I have a suspicion as to the cause. I will
look into it.
