If you use a percussion or drumset on any other channel, it will play as a piano. In the case of a violin, it'll just make it constantly sound tremolo.Īdditionally, and this is super important, channel 10 is ONLY for percussion. If you do, the instrument will sound like whatever the rightmost subinstrument is. And no, you cannot place them all onto one channel. Yes, this does mean it's technically now only 15 total channels available. If you're only using Arco and not the other two, I'd go on each and set their channels to 16, which will be designated as unused.

For example, Violins (and all strings for that matter) have 3 in total: Arco, Pizzicato, and Tremolo. Sometimes, it's able to be clicked, and doing so reveals several more.

In the Mixer, you'll notice a right-facing arrow on every instrument. Keep in mind that many instruments actually occupy more than one channel. Luckily, duplicate instruments can share a channel and export fine. This means you need to fit every single unique instrument into 16 channels. Once again, many programs (including Windows Media Player) CANNOT use more than 1 single port. MuseScore allows for exporting up to 16 different ports with 16 channels. Long story short, some devices are incapable of using more than one port. I know I'm over a year late, but I'm sure someone else will show up and have the same issue. Alright, I figured out how to fix this issue.
