Great! - 'less to worry about.. 😉


Here is an extract from 'GM2.rgd' (<librarian name = "Ted Felix") 🙂

I expect it is old (<rosegarden-data version="14.10">)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 <keymapping name="General MIDI Percussion" channel="9">
            <key number="27" name="High Q"/>
            <key number="28" name="Slap"/>
            <key number="29" name="Scratch Push"/>
            <key number="30" name="Scratch Pull"/>
            <key number="31" name="Sticks"/>
            <key number="32" name="Square Click"/>
            <key number="33" name="Metronome Click"/>
            <key number="34" name="Metronome Bell"/>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The "channel=" attribute is not present in the file I edited and exported from MDM.

Thanks for the info.
Chuck.

The only issue arising is that it is still necessary to manually edit the results to eliminate "metronome" and "instrument" tags, as per Wiki recommendations, if this is still considered
desirable. Perhaps these should be removed from the 'export' function?

  This is more of a perfectionist thing.  Ideally, the export should indeed drop those.  But they are harmless if present.

I would be grateful if anyone can point me to a detailed description of the various RGD tags and their
parameters and uses.

  All we have is the code.

In particular, I am unclear as to what the "channel" parameter does within
a "keymapping" tag.

  The code doesn't write such a thing these days:

midiDevice << "        <keymapping "
           << "name=\"" << encode(kit->getName()) << "\">\n";

  It's just a "name" attribute.  Are you looking at older files, or are you seeing this in new files that you export?  Can you post or point to an example in the library?

  On the read side, the only code for handling a "channel" attribute is for the instrument and audioinput tags.

Ted.
