I think you will find that those are for the MIDI reverb settings -- different from audio tracks -- and that the setting that comes up isn't a default set by the programs, but comes from data in the midi files.

Of course, if you load a file and then decide to hit "New" -- there stands a good chance that the settings will remain from the last file.

With Midi it is often that case that you DO want some reverb on all the instruments, even the bass, because that extra bit of ambience -- putting those synthesized or sampled patches into a virtual space -- adds a lot. Try listening to a completely dry midi or BIAB file sometime...

The two standardized Midi effects are Midi Reverb and Midi Chorus. These are a function of your midi output solution, hardware or softare, and not like a pgmusic audio plugin at all. These are controlled by Continuous Controllers in the midi data, CC91 is Reverb and CC93 is Chorus, 0 to 127XG (1 to 128GM).
