How do the hymns play with different voices?
HymnSite.com does two things. First, it plays a short file with the “voice” (sound) of piano, organ, or bells. If your sound card, drivers, and software work like a “real” MIDI device, that voice assignment should continue to be used until a new voice is designated. Unfortunately, many sound cards, drivers, and software automatically “reset” to their default voice (usually piano) each time a new file is played. For that reason, HymnSite.com sets a “cookie” in your computer’s memory so that it can remember to select the right voice again. No cookies from HymnSite.com are written onto your disk, so you have to make your voice selection each time to start your browser. Return to FAQ list.
