I thought we discussed this here a while back, but since I didn't need the message I didn't save it.
I know Yamaha used FC to mean Foot Controlled, BC to mean Breath Controlled, AT for Aftertouch, (or maybe that was KC for keyboard controlled) for their FM patches to indicate patches with extended control options. I also know there was a fairly standard set of abbreviations for the GX general MIDI family that were used by Roland (and by extension Edirol -- edirol is a contraction of "Educational Roland") and Yamaha. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Raymond Grote Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2011 7:47 AM To: QWS list Subject: Re: QWS List QWS Instrument abbreviation in instrument configuration Is there a resource somewhere where these abbreviations can be found?
