polyphonic music not working in Java

My polyphonic music programs are not working in the Java implementations---there seems to be only one MIDI channel, rather than one per sprite as in the Squeak implementation of scratch!

Re: polyphonic music not working in Java

Could you try installing the Java soundbank? http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/soundbanks.html
It should be downloaded automatically, but maybe it is not working for you.

Please let us know if that solves the problem

Re: polyphonic music not working in Java

I tried downloading soundbank-deluxe.gm from http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/soundbanks.html
but I couldn't figure out where to put it on my Mac OS X (10.3.9) system.
The instructions for Linux/Solaris and for Windows both seemed irrelevant, and I could not figure out where firefox was getting java from.

Any suggestions where I should put the soundbank file?
