Kurzweil-2500RS.rgd
|
Hi All, I put together a banks definition file for the Kurzweil 2500RS, to be able to select any of the programs from the two default ROM banks as well as the optional Piano, Contemporary and Orchestral ROM banks. http://www.penlug.org/twiki/pub/Main/DigitalTelevision/Kurzweil-2500RS.rgd When I copy it into $HOME/.local/share/rosegarden/library and load it using "Studio" -> "Manage MIDI Devices", then click on "Banks...", "Import...", select the new Kurzweil-2500RS.rgd and click "Open" then when I go to "View" -> "Show Special Parameters" it now shows me the five ROMs and their contents, and properly sends the MIDI "bank change" and "program change" messages to the K2500RS synth when you make the settings for the various tracks. It's pretty handy: now I can have one set of program sounds for one Rosegarden file, and another set of program sounds for another file, and by just pressing "play" in the transport Rosegarden then sends all the required MIDI messages to select the program sounds. Neat! I guess it's obvious to folks who have been doing this kind of thing all along, but it's new to me! I found some help about creating the XML file on the wiki page, I hadn't realized the ".rgd" files are just gzip'd XML files :) http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/documents/rgd-HOWTO.shtml Cheers, Peter. |
