Odd midi problem

"All Controllers off"? I didn't even notice that one existed.
That probably would of worked too. Yes, I think just adding command 121 when a track finishes would fix these problems.

But... personally, I'd rather not have any commands automatically sent when I stop a song. If you deliberately set up an intro followed by a main loop using PlayMusicQueued or if you switch files using SeekMIDIPos, having automatic commands sent to turn everything off and reset controllers makes the transition less smooth. I don't know, maybe if you could add a system variable that could be turned off if you don't want reset commands sent after each MIDI song?

I'm not sure - generally, not resetting things in between songs just causes problems (like this one). The new track should set up the controllers itself if it needs them - it shouldn't rely on anything in the previous track.

Maybe an experiment is needed just to make sure, but I wouldn't have thought this would pose a problem.

Anyway, I'm adding this in to beta 6 as an experimental fix, so Dave could you see if it fixes your problem?

Ok, this is now in beta 6. Feedback would be appreciated so I know whether to make it a permanent fix.  :)
