Thx.
I try to use LS with Impro-Visor[1]
Improvisor seems to use channel 1 for solo instrument (melody), 4 for 
chords, 7 for bass and 10 for drums.
I tried to map the samples in the lscp file with the instrument numbers 
in improvisor via program numbers. That works but it's not possible to 
have more LS channels on the same midi channel number, cause all though 
they have different program numbers, they all make sound unfortunately.

An other problem I had with some samples is that I needed to use 
jack-keyboard (virtual midi keybd) to load the samples in memory. Do a 
program change via jack-keyboard to load the sample. PERSISTENT seems to 
solve this issue.

For the drums this doesn't solve it. I don't have a GIG per single part 
of a drumkit, but one GIG for a group, let's say 'Cymbals'. But if I set 
that GIG to the program numbers improviser sends out [2], it still 
doesn't work. I still have to use jack-keyboard to load the GIG file/ 
program number. All drum samples are set to use midi channel 10.

Do you see a solution for this?
