![]() This can wind up causing problems during the writing process, as well as file bloat. Potentially, if you're copying all the events from the first measure of any one track, you could also be copying over any patch changes, along with all the other track parameters such as volume, pan, etc. Generally you want only one program change event per track, which should be on the very first tic of the track, so that the instrument(s) get set correctly immediately when the piece begins playing. Your problem might be your copy-and-paste operation including the events that set the instruments for that track - these are known as "Program Changes" in Sekaiju. You can also bring up a List of only the Events for a specific track by right-clicking a track in the Track List and selecting Show this track's Event List window. This will give you an Event List for the whole piece. To open it, go to View and click Show new Event List window. It's incredibly useful if you want to examine MIDI events on a "microscopic" level. The Event List is actually a pretty common utility of any MIDI sequencer out there. Just a blanket "be the instrument selected for every note" command. ![]() I'm sure if I could come to understand this aspect of the program it would suddenly all make sense, but currently it's just a jumble of MIDI instructions that appear to be responsible for these annoying unintentional Piano conversions.Īnyway, what I want is to force EVERY darn note in a certain track to acknowledge the instrument selected for that track, without randomly becoming pianos or other instruments. I understand this probably has something to do with the "event list" window - something I've never heard of, having used only Guitar Pro/Tuxguitar - where seemingly random instructions can get injected, sometimes the instrument chosen gets ignored, etc. In fact, if I step a toe out of line, it can cause an explosion of multiple tracks becoming doomed to Piano-ness, completely ignoring the instrument selected for that track, and then I have no idea how to un-Piano them when this happens. Whenever I try to paste a few bars from one track to another - Say I want the rhythm and lead to play the same thing for a few bars - when I paste it, it either retains the original instrument even when moved to the new track or worse still and seemingly at random, it will sometimes just turn into a grand piano. So after a couple years of toying around with it I've become pretty good at wrangling Sekaiju, but there's a couple things I can't understand.
