Hi, I just got a bunch of XG MIDI files and I'm trying to get them to play in RealBand so I can fine tune them.

Initially I'm trying to use my Keytron SD-4 HW synth module.

RB is playing GM files just fine but the XG files appear to play but no sound from the SD-4. Now you may say that the XG files are using some wierd CC(s) that is causing the problem. But they also don't play with the Coyote software synth.

The XG files DO play with Windoze Media Player using the SD-4 AND they also play fine with Reaper. Just not in RB.

I've tried RB 2014 on Win 8.1 and RB 2013 on Win 7. Same issue.

I've tried Disable Special Controllers in MIDI Out preferences but that didn't make any difference. Looking at the MIDI Monitor I'm not spotting anything that leaps out at me.

For good measure I've also tried killing the SysEx messages that are being sent, but that doesn't make and difference either.

I tried a search here for Playing XG MIDI files but that didn't turn up anything. I'm sure this has come up before so if there is a thread somewhere that I haven't found just point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Burt
