How to save midi files after editing?

[panda]

I know how to save midi files....but after I set all the instruments to whatever I want....adjusted the levels...Eq...Reverb etc and I saved it...but when I recall it back....it will appear as the un-edited file with all the instruments, levels, eq, reverbs back to its original unedited file. This is really frustrating for me. ouch!

Can anyone advise ?

Yes, saving a modified MIDI song is a bit "special". Here's what to do: Adjusting Volume in Songs

Strange, it should actually work. Here's a quote from another guide:

How to change voices, volumes, etc in a recorded midi song
The following is true for Midi Type 0 songs only. Midi Type 1 files (commercial files are often
of this type) will load and play, but cannot be edited. You must convert the midi to type 0
first. One easy way of doing this is to load the midi and then, in Song Creator, save it to a
new file name. The load the saved file.
The Mixing Console can be used to change voices, effects etc of a midi file that is loaded
(via depressing the Song button and then selecting a song) for playback, but it does not
store any of these changes in the song itself.
To do that, you have to open the song in Song Creator (load for playback then Digital
Recording/Song Creator), depress Next to the Channel Tab, and button B to the fifth item,
Setup. There you will see a list of items that can be recorded to the beginning of the song
when you depress the Execute button that is shown on the screen.
First, make sure that Voices, effects, etc are all checked, and then, while still in Song
Creator, depress the Mixing Console button and make your changes.
Depress TOP in the Song control area to ensure that the midi is at the beginning, or
forward/reverse to a location where you want the changes to take effect.
Then use the Exit button to 'back out' of Mixing Console and return to Song Creator. Now
depress the Execute button, and it should tell you that it is recording your changes.
Depress Save to save the edited song.
