I'd like a version of this file to be distributed as part of the Rosegarden library. I've created three files with almost the same content, for ease of editing and ease of use.
The most useful for music creation is the studio device file with the separate CM-64 map, the rest of the maps being merged into one SC-8850 device. Both devices can be applied to the same midi port/device anyway, as I'm sure you know. That way, the different MSB/LSB method for the CM-64 variations is easier to navigate in Rosegarden's GUI. The "single-device" file is there just because I tried it (merging all maps), but due to the CM-64 map's MSB/LSB difference, it's awkward to browse when creating music (certain CM-64 variations are grouped under capital tones they aren't related to). The easiest to edit is the one including "all-separate-devices". Also, the compatible maps may be imported into other similar devices' studio files (although I'm not sure Roland kept the variation names exactly the same for each incarnation in this line of sound modules). I believe this is mostly compatible with the SC-8820 too, but the documentation seems to say there should be a difference in the number of tones between the 8820 and 8850. The difference isn't in the 8820 studio file, though, which only includes the 8820 map. (I used it as a base for the 8850 map, obsessively editing wherever I noticed differences in names, but I never had to add, remove, or change variation numbering). Thanks for your consideration, Lucas
