Default It doesn't really "send on all channels" (DONE)

You get an interesting perspective when you show people REAPER for the first time.

I was trying to explain to a guy how you could have multi-channel .MID files sending to different hardware channels from the same item, but he was getting really confused saying "but you have to tell it which channel to send to, like 1"

When I showed him the MIDI Hardware Output setting "Send on all channels" he thought that would send all the MIDI data on all channels.

I think he has a point! That name doesn't really tally with what it does.

Sending on channel 1 does what it says, but doesn't "send on all channels" suggest that it will send on all of 1-16?

Maybe something like "Send on original channel"/"Send on any channel" more accurate?

Any suggestions? Or is he just confused!


DONE
