rosegarden midi mixer has no effect

[Dieter Plaetinck]

Hi all.
rosegarden 1.7.3
sending midi data to either fluidsynth 1.0.9 or timidity++ 2.13.2
(tried both) using the fluidR 122501 soundfont


when i play a midi track, and i change the volume levels in the midi
mixer (eg turn the guitars down so i can hear drums better) this
sometimes works temporarily (until a new section starts), and sometimes
doesn't work at all.   So at many points in time I see on the midi
mixer that the volume levels of certain instruments are way down, yet i
hear them loudly as usual.


When all sliders are down to 0, the instruments will be muted for a
while, but after a while, they become as loud as before again.

what could be wrong?

thanks
Dieter

This sounds as if that track contains volume change events that override
the mixer's volume settings.

The controller that is supposed to be used for temporary volume changes
in a track is Expression, not Volume; try changing all CC#7 events to
CC#11.

Thanks.
So, i edit a midi track with the "event list editor", i filter all
events so i only see controller events.  But then I get a lot of events
with type (data1) set to 7.  how i can mass update them to 11? if i
select them all, open the event editor (or the advanced event editor)
and set it to 11, only the first event in the selection gets updated.
not really looking forward to update them all by hand.
