Just curious if anyone knows what it means when an instrument name is highlighted in a red-color font when using the van Basco MIDI player?  This behavior seems to occur on a few MIDI files I have (either the instrument starts out in red color, or is blue but then switches to red), and I wasn't able to locate anything in the help documentation about it.  It doesn't seem to affect the instrument sound as the instrument plays OK, but I wasn't sure exactly what the color change means.

I think when it changes red, it's an instrument that the player doesn't know of. Various MIDI files I have also show "(unknown drum)" in red.
