Player and Midifile

[Beat Cornaz]

As I have been unable up till now to figure out a way to do realtime  
midi, I have looked into the QT player again.

When I load a standard midi file into the player, the player does play  
but gives no sound. The player does have a track and it is enabled.
Studying Kurt's MidiPlayer, I see that Kurt does specify the  
midichannel(s) (midiChannelNoteOn and midiChannelNoteOff) and the  
instrument(s) used.

Is it possible, as in a standard sequencer, to have the Instruments  
assigned globally. What I mean is, when I have a sequence
in Logic, I can drag it to another track (another instrument) and it  
will play the new sound. The track determines the instrument sound,
as well as the track does determine the midi channel. So what I am  
after is creating a midifile with several tracks. Once loaded into the  
player, I want to be able
to change the instrument for a track (e.g. track 2 becomes a violin)  
without recalculating the midifile.

Hi René : did you manage to play a midifile in a player yet?
