Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

Dmitry, a well-behaved MIDI player application should send out appropriate messages to stop all sounding notes when playback is stopped. What player application are you using?

When playback is stopped, the condition of the playback device should be unchanged from what it was moments ago. For example, if a flute was assigned as the voice on MIDI channel 5, the tone generator should still have the flute assigned on that channel.

If you resume playback in another part of the song or start a file from some place in the song other than the beginning, a good MIDI player application should “chase” the various patch and controller messages from the beginning of the file and send whatever messages are appropriate in order to insure correct playback from the currently location.

In addition, a properly authored MIDI file should have a variety of messages at the beginning to insure proper playback despite the current condition of the tone generator. Those messages typically include an initial reset message (typically GM, GS, or XG reset) as well as voice, volume, and panning settings for the various channels that will be used. Of course, many Internet files are not authored with a sense of understanding how the MIDI file should be set up.

The bottom line is that a proper MIDI player combined with correctly authored files should work great.

Regards,
PianoBench
