Problem writing reverb settings over SysEx

[sergm]

IMHO, there're enough checkboxes within already to confuse people 😄
But I think we nevertheless must add tooltips to those controls which currently lack any description.

The described behaviour is possible to reproduce, although it is not enabled by default. Historically, the mt32emu API provided a way of setting custom reverb settings for the client, so that any reverb settings set via SysEx messages are ignored. See the related API function.

Similarly, mt32emu-qt implements such a reverb override mode. Unless the "Reverb Enabled" checkbox in the Synth Properties dialog remains in the default "grey" state, any attempt to alter reverb settings via a SysEx message has no effect. Instead, the reverb is ether always disabled or always remains enabled with the reverb settings set via the UI.

Please see if this info helps.

You're absolutely right, if I just start munt "fresh" and load my MIDI file, it does accept reverb settings over SysEx. I must have simply messed around with it and not just realized the "greyed out" mode of the button had that effect.

It might be a good idea to change the UI - maybe add a 2nd checkbox for "allow SysEx to modify reverb settings"?
