OK Relax, I spent an hour or two researching the products
 and all the instrument files are done now. 
Let me know any errors.

The one remaining thing are all the Init sequences in these
 instrument files.
No way can I research all of that stuff!
So many operating modes, so many patches.
We may have to just wait until the users supply them.

So for now if your instrument is not GM, GS, XG (which have 
 the Init sequences), you'll just have to select various device 
 'modes' with the devices' own controls, or construct custom 
 sysexes in the arranger (not recommended, try to add it to 
 an .idf file instead.)
Please give us your .IDFs and/or Init sequences. Thanks!

Side note: Found this comment in README.instruments:

 (2)  An "Instrument Definition File" can define more than on
      Instrument, but it is recommended to use one file for
      one instrument

Hm, that may or may not still be true. With the GM, GS, and XG 
 files, I think the 1:1 rule must be enforced because I think the midi 
 importer looks for the file names (bad - change that?). With other
 files, not sure.
Must check, I doubt the instrument editor would preserve the 
 separate instruments, but hopefully directly in the .idf it's still 
 OK to do that...

A very good idea though, since song type is gone.
Group the various flavours (modes) of an instrument into one .idf file.
Recall I mentioned I was considering something similar, except
 all contained in one instrument, but got stuck on 
 "multiple Init sequences". So this way instead may at least work.

Tim.
