Re: [fluid-dev] How can I start fluidsynth playback with certain cc commands specified from the very start?

[Martin Larsson]

Interesting… However, shouldn’t I be able to keep on using midi files with 
built-in CC#7 commands and resort to manipulating CC#11 instead (rather than 
forcing my midi-files to use CC#11), even if it’s not the “right” way to do it? 
I don’t care much for doing things the right way right now; I just want it to 
work :)

Anyhow, I’m starting to wonder if I can place CC commands in an init file at 
all. For example, when trying to pan everything to one side by using the CC#10 
command in my init file, everything is still centered during playback. Are my 
CCs being sent before the midi file has been properly set up, and therefore 
also ignored or reset once playback starts?
