I am a beginner user of CSOUND , I want to know How I
can use a .mid file (instead of score) in CSOUND VST ?
(CSOUND version 5.0).

Regards, 

Juan Carlos Martinez

You need to use the -F command line option with the file name.

With Csound 5 you do not need to convert to type 0.

It is most likely that the MIDI file has program change
messages, and that is why the channels are reverted to
instr 1. You can disable program changes by adding
pgmassign 0, 0 to the orchestra header (alternatively,
you can also assign instrument numbers to program changes,
for example with pgmassign 2, 3 program 2 will use instr 3).
