Hi, > This slow speed option does the trick. I hadn't noticed that before.

It might be that the synth doesn't send the data at full speed so the program finds it okay on a real ST. Unfortunately because it is buffered first Steem sends it to the program as quickly as possible. I will add some options to the next version to allow you to slow down MIDI input, could fix the problem. > I'm really not sure about how to use command line options.

If you are trying to open the Auto.sts file so it loads up in Steem then unfortuntately that won't work, these options will be toggleable in the GUI for the next version to save you all these problems.
