![]() Then how 32 channel playback is possible? Only by using more than one port (16 channel domain). '0xC2' is a Program change message (0xC0) intended to channel 2 (0x02). The upper 4 bits in a status byte are the event type and the lower 4 bits are the channel information. The Midi protocol itself is restricted to only 16 channels, you can only encode channels 0-15 in a midi message. Also Type 0 SMF files only use 1 track but can use all 16 channels in the only 1 track. You can have 65535 tracks in a midi file that still use only 16 channels and players can play such a file without problems. A 'Track' is only an organizing concept in SMF (Standard Midi File) files an totally independent from channels that are part of the Midi protocol. ![]() Tracks and channels are 2 different things. ![]() Does anyone know a MIDI player for windows that I can use to send all 32 tracks on the two midi ports on my soundcard? I have been searching for hours now without luck. The demosong I was playing uses a full 32 track setup so things are getting botched. The midi player I am using is only sending out signal on ONE midi port (which only handles 16 tracks).
