this script is working for me

```ruby

# Testing midi and qsynth - nlb with big help from Robin Newman - 09-12-2019
# spi version : v3.1
# os : windows 10
# qsynth : 0.5.5 https://github.com/JoshuaPrzyborowski/Qsynth-Windows-Builds
# soundFont : Arachno SoundFont - Version 1.0.sf2 https://www.polyphone-soundfonts.com/en/files/27-instrument-sets/255-arachno-soundfont
# port loop midi : loopMidi 1.0.15

puts version

use_midi_defaults port: "loopmidi", channel: "4"

play 60

# the mma bank select mode is choosen in Qsynth configuration

midi_cc 0, 0 #
midi_cc 32, 0 # banque 0
sleep 0.95 #reduce this sleep to compensate for the extra one after midi_pc
## on choisit le programme 1 piano
## we send a midi program change to select the program number 1
midi_pc 1
sleep 0.85 # inserting a short sleep here seems to cure the problem
## we play a note to test
midi_note_on :c2
sleep 4

num_prg = [24, 25, 26]
num_prg.length.times do
  # midi program_change pour changer le numéro de programme dans la banque sélectionnée
  midi_pc num_prg.tick # le numero de programme doit exister attention au trou (mind the gap)
  sleep 0.15
  midi_note_on 60
  sleep 2
end

# to select the bank number 128
midi_cc 0, 1 # 1 = 128
midi_cc 32, 0 # bank selection >> 1*128 + 0 = 128
sleep 0.15

## we send a midi program change to select the program number 8
midi_pc 8
sleep 0.15

midi_note_on :c2
sleep 1
midi_note_on :g3
sleep 1

midi_all_notes_off

```

hope it helps.
