There i a configuration setting for this [2] > this is excellent! i didn't know i could do this. i changed bank root change to LSB bank change to MSB (this seemed to be the key) and enable program change was always ON now i can change banks from within rg!! as indicated, i doubt if i'll use this, but i don't like it when i can't get features to work (even if they aren't of any use to me). :D so much appreciated! -- In friendship, prad ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

I think that bank was indeed made around 6 years ago via this script [1] I had made, but then Yoshimi default banks changed quite a bit and I'm not even sure if that script still works :-) see this post for the script: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=64=24573=15 it's working nicely on my system. Personally, I must admit that I hardly ever use that file. I prefer to change instruments etc. in Yoshimi and have nothing set-up in that regards in Rosegarden. That is because 95% of times I will be tweaking even the default instruments, in terms of parameters effects etc. and I *don't* want Rosegarden to inadvertently 'restore' the defalut. But I understand if Rosegarden is providing a Yoshimi bank file it should probably be up to date :-) what i don't understand though is why neither this yoshimi.rgd nor the other one, let's me change banks within rg. from the instrument parameters, i can change instruments within a bank, but the bank has to be set in a running yoshimi. i can't change bank from instrument parameters (even though it looks like i've changed it). Have you made sure Yoshimi is actually set-up to react to Bank and Program Changes? There i a configuration setting for this [2] Lorenzo [1] https://github.com/lorenzosu/rosegarden_yoshimi_banks [2] https://yoshimi.github.io/docs/user-guide/config/config.html (see inparticular "MIDI" at the end) ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
[Rosegarden-user] script to produce yoshimi.rgd and how to change banks
having played around for a while with rg and a downloaded a yoshimi.rgd from https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/rosegarden/data/library/yoshimi.rgd?format=raw i found that it doesn't match the yoshimi banks and instrument setup i'm getting from yoshimi now on archlinux. so i made a little script that will create a yoshimi.rgd from /usr/share/yoshimi/banks. see this post for the script: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=64=24573=15 it's working nicely on my system. what i don't understand though is why neither this yoshimi.rgd nor the other one, let's me change banks within rg. from the instrument parameters, i can change instruments within a bank, but the bank has to be set in a running yoshimi. i can't change bank from instrument parameters (even though it looks like i've changed it). -- In friendship, prad ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
