Hi Patrick
Thanks for your reply. Like most digital pianos there is a standard bank
(xg)
instruments, but there are also, what I will call front panel voices,
better quality voices, for which the msb and lsb etc is given.
For example, there is a proper trumpet with vibrato on the front panel
voices,
while the xg trumpet has no vibrato.
I have the datasheet, but just need some pointers on how to
translate that info back into the instrument definition file layout.
Thanks
David

definition file?
I'm of the opinion that the DGX-640 is only just an XG instrument. If this
is the case, just use the generic XG definition. I could be wrong, but
that's what I got from playing with it for a short time.

Hi Friends
Okay, am not getting any Yamaha DGX-640 instrument definition file,
so I'm happy to make my own, but I need info please.
From what I understand there are four columns of info:
the first one is the MIDI channel,
the second one is the patch number,
the third one is the bank,
the fourth one is the patch name.
Firstly, the term "midi chanel" is confusing to me, because I
associate that term with the midi send and receive chanels,
and obviously a certain patch could be played on any of the 16 channels.
Secondly, here;s the data sheet layout from my DGX-640. It has columns:
Col 1: voice no (running sequentially up from 1 to 535),
col 2: msb,
col 3: lsb,
col 4: midi program change number,
col 5: voice name.
How do I use the above data to arrive at the info for the
4 columns in the instrument definition file?
PLEASE HELP! I receently got the new piano, and cannot access
its great sounds via the standard xg template.
Thanks so much
David
