True :) I've always thought that tuning at the sample layer was
probably the best actually. Not an easy thing to do right now with
Swami since I don't think changes to sample parameters are heard in real
time. Once a sample is tuned though wherever it is used it would be
correct.

MIDI Driver should be set to "alsa_seq" and "Default" should be checked
(its in regards to using the default device for the driver, which I
don't think even applies to the ALSA sequencer).
In the little MIDI parameter control toolbar on the right there is a
Chan control. Anytime an item is selected in the tree it will be loaded
to the selected channel. So as long as you have selected an instrument
while a given channel is displayed you should get some output from a
MIDI device sending to that channel.

I'm already a good way into having these changes done. Wow, old code
base is scary. I'm much happier with the API in the development
version. I think libaudiofile supports loops with only AIFF files, so
it will be a requirement to use libaudiofile and AIFF in order to
export/import loops. Unless libaudiofile adds support for WAV loops in
the future. Cheers.
