unable to add synth to previous MIDI file tracks

[cactus-head]

Cactus-head, what do you use to look into the midi file? Also, there were no visible program change cc command in the Mixcraft sound tab, only standard ones like volume, reverb, pan and velocity.

Hi,

I have a bunch of old tools for MIDI editing - some run from the command line. An old GUI one is called Midi Disassembler. The exe is MidiDsm.exe - I don't know where this exists any longer.

To find the program change for mixcraft, click on Program Change below the piano roll. Right click on the little line to edit.
