I'm trying to set my MIDI instrument to tenor sax using %%MIDI program 67. After inserting this line all the notes higher than 'c' are not audible. The same notes are playing well with default instrument (piano).
%%MIDI program 67
X: 1
K: C
| c d e f | g a b c' | d' c' b a | g f e d c |
Ok, got it. Looks like MIDI instrument numbers should be specified like this: number-1. So %%MIDI program 67 was setting baritone sax instead of tenor.
Is this intentional? The examples in abc music notation standard 2.2 are using exact MIDI instrument number (for example: %%MIDI program 1 75 % recorder).
I was copying the numbers from the abcmidi program because I wanted to be compatible. I think that was a bug in the original implementation. I wasn't aware that the standard now supports the real midi numbers. But that would mean that all of the files out there will play wrong, so I don't know what to do. I'd rather use the real midi numbers.
Hello!
I'm trying to set my MIDI instrument to tenor sax using
%%MIDI program 67
. After inserting this line all the notes higher than 'c' are not audible. The same notes are playing well with default instrument (piano).Here is an interactive example.
Why this happens? This is normal range of tenor sax.
Thank you!
