We still assume that as a universal baseline. This other stuff is over and above and beside that. > If you give them percussion on another channel, they won't play percussion, > bank change or no.

I've found everything that's capable of using .sf2 soundfonts is capable of using this bank switch to utilize extra percussion channels. I discovered this quite to my surprise, but it seems to hold true everywhere. As far as compatibility goes, that's what doing a device definition for your particular setup is all about. This bank change stuff doesn't work on my usual Roland either. That's why I don't have the XG/GM2-style extra percussion stuff defined in my personal default studio, why none of this stuff I'm testing would ever work with my normal setup, and why I'm testing with QSynth. It should be quite possible to support it where it works without affecting anywhere it doesn't. In fact, as I said in my most recent comments, it seems to be working satisfactorily right like it is. I saw what I was looking for in terms of behavior, and unless I discover some new wrinkle, I don't think you have any more work to do in this particular area anyway. Working on the surface is working, regardless of how you're managing it underneath. I'm not saying I won't discover that new wrinkle tomorrow, but so far, so good. -- D.
