Hi, I just got a toy (at least it's been called that before) Millenium MD70 for my kid. Anyway its just about right for my 5 year old kid. It had midi out so I thought that I try it together with Hydrogen and Fluidsynth. One thing I first noticed was that Fluidsynth just responded about half of the hits made at the pads. Hydrogen responds ok but the velocity is low compared to what I get when I just play the sound in Hydrogen. I was puzzled to why Fluidsynth couldn't respond more than every second hit so I took amidi and dumped the output. It turns out that the MD70 sends a "Program Change" every time I hit a pad. In hex it is C9 00. Do anyone out there know why this happens? Or is it normal to send a program change at every hit? I can't get Fluidsynth to ignore the program change. Do anyone know if theres a way to do that? There might be a midi filter somewhere (suggestions welcome) but I thought that it would be nice to do it directly in Fluidsynth. Here is an example of amidi -d when I hit one pad C9 00 99 23 7F 99 23 00 As i interpret it (GM that is), it's: Program change to 0 Note on for Acoustic Bass Drum with velocity 127 Note on for Acoustic Bass Drum with velocity 0 /bengan _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
