Thanks for the info Julie, but it does not quite solve my problem.
First of all, I use Rosearden 10.10, build key 96ea4954b7, with Qt version
4.6.2, on Ubuntustudio Lucid (10.04).
I've managed to get multiple sounds from my keyboard with performances
without using the rosegarden instrument list for the XV88, simply because I
think it is useless in the way Rosegarden works.
Performance instruments are a collection of instruments, which means there
is a three step selection process :
Bank -> Program -> Channel (like you said, indeed, 16 channels to choose
from)
Rosegarden only allows a 2 step selection process :
Bank -> Program, and there it stops.
I think this is very sad. Is this because of the change in handling midi
from pre-10.02 versions of Rosegarden? If there is any other way to solve
it, with use of the banks, please let me know. It can make life easier in
selecting sounds.
I now just let the default settings in rosegarden are what they are (only
setting the the input from my midisport of course, which records very well
in my case, perhaps an older or newer device, but I doubt the latter, since
I already have it many years.. ), and I don't fill in any Instrument
parameters. Per track I just change the instrument number.
About those controllers, I import them when importing the bank for the XV88,
which I now obviously don't do anymore. They do still cause very much
trouble. Instruments end up silent, even when playing the keyboard itself,
and then I just have to switch the keyboard off and on again. Last time, I
even had to reset my keyboard to factory state to get it working allright
again.
I did throw this in the discussionlist before. Then the problem was
confirmed, and I was told to contact the author of the bank, what I tried,
but the email adress, mentioned in the bank is not valid anymore.
Greets,
