With ghostess, use the '-chan' command line option, e.g.

its channels starting from 0, so that example would cause it
to listen on what most people call channel 4.... ;-)


Now doesn't that sound silly when you read it out loud?  I don't
understand why so many programmers insist on using 0-15 for MIDI
channels when most hardware uses 1-16 (correct me if I'm wrong).

Patch number representation ought to be selectable. Older MIDI gear might use one of various numbering schemes, it's useful to have the software numbering match the hardware.

Best,
