I think I found the cause, LV2 version indeed is fine...� it's a change in calfjackhost done in 2018:


https://github.com/calf-studio-gear/calf/commit/1b37e753876fdd104a906aed1e712ff28ec4611f#diff-3fc4abf5e55f800decb309a734fcd5b32b519c7a3a8e8c7b973759593bf67009


To me it looks that this commit is just plain wrong in raising the channel number by one.


The intent (see issue #97 referenced in this commit msg) is to compensate the offset seen in calf monosynth and other synths, but apparently this change simply increases the input buffer channel by one...


So I changed line 197 in jackhost.cpp from:


�int channel = (buffer[0] & 0x0f) + 1;


to read:


�int channel = (buffer[0] & 0x0f);


and this fixes the off by one error in fluidsynth, and it seems the other synths still respond on correct channels, even if displaying 0-15 in their MIDI channel selectors.


(tried with Mamba virtual keyboard on my laptop, which also displays channels as 1 - 16)
