No different colors for left and right hand while playing with Synthesia

[Sonar10]

Hello, I have a problem, when I try to learn to play with Synthesia, my LEDs don't indicate the color of corresponding hand (blue, green), all LEDs light in white. I tried different configuration but without success. I have connections like this: RPi->USB OTG-> Piano and RPi->USB OTG->Sevilla's Soft MIDI USB-USB->PC

Could you help me?

Hello. Did you change your Synthesia's settings to "Finger-based channel"? It's under MIDI USB-USB output -> key lights.

Yes, I did: Music output ->MIDI USB-USB->Key Lights ->Finger-based channel. I'm sending pictures, because LEDs have weird behaviour. 1st pic before pressed 2nd pic presses and hold 3rd pic after release

What about other output settings in Synthesia? Set "my notes" as disabled, same with "prevent local notes". If it doesn't help, there is a workaround. Go into "Led settings" -> "Skipped notes" and select "normal".

I did all things that you mentioned above - now LEDs not showing the first notes at all, but if I press them and the next notes are the same they light up properly in blue and green. I'm sending more pics:

Did you try other midi files? Does the same thing happen with Synthesia's default songs?

Also, try the built-in learning mode to check if the same thing happens there.

I think you were right. I downloaded some songs and it works good. What I've noticed that not all MIDI files show hands - I assume that the MIDI file must be prepared somehow by creator to indicate hands right? And the second question do you know any good MIDI files repository?
