What is the latest version of MuseScore Studio where this issue is present?
4.5.1-250800846, revision: github-musescore-musescore-603eca8
Regression
Yes, this used to work in a previous version of MuseScore 4.x
Operating system
macOS 12.7, Arch.: x86_64
Additional context
If you change an instrument to MS Basic sounds then if you try to input a note it keeps inputting it on loop forever and the only way to get it to stop is to close the program, but it never sends a MIDI note off message so the note keeps playing after the program is closed. I had to open a Logic Pro project and hit the play button which sends that message to get it to stop playing.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or code entry points are named. Reproduce the loop using MuseScore Studio 4.5.1 on macOS 12.7 by switching from Muse Sounds to MS Basic and entering a note, then trace the MIDI note-input and sound-switching paths. Done means note entry produces one note, sends note-off correctly, and stopping or closing the program does not leave a note sounding.
