Vince,

Below are graphics showing the MIDI information at the: (a) start of the song; (b) the bar where the fade-in starts; (c) the end of the song.


Fig 1: The beginning of the MGX file


Fig 2: First bar of fade-out section


Fig 3: The end of the song

In Fig 2, it's possible to see that the volumes are set and then the expression controller is used to lower these volumes gradually. (The following MIDI channels have their volume set to 90: 3 = Piano, 7 = Guitar, 6 = Strings, 2 = Bass, 10 = Drums, 4 = Melody, 8 = Soloist, 5 = Thru Channel.)

Fig 3 shows that the expression controller has reduced the volumes completely. Interestingly, a couple of MIDI channels (6 = Strings, 4 = Melody) have their volume increased again right at the end of the song. This is easy to hear if you let the song play to the finish.

In Fig 1 shows that the volume controller is used to set volumes for the appropriate channels at the start the song but, for some reason, these do not seem to override the final expression settings at the end of the song. he Volume Spinners show that all tracks volumes are set to 90 but only the Bass, Guitar and Strings can be heard. I have no idea why this is the case because exactly the same volume settings are added at bar 53, the first bar of the fade-out (Fig 2), and they do their job properly at bar 53. It also seems curious to me that a "regenerate" does not reset the volumes.

I'm posting these pictures in the hope that MIDI gurus can help out.

Mac: I set the volume for Bar 1 "Back to normal" in song settings but it had no impact. I wasn't sure how to add a CC 123, reset, command to the song file so have not tried that.

Regards,
Noel

P.S. Vince, if you double-click on bar 53 and then stop stop playback, you can replay the song from the start with all MIDI volumes working properly.
