Actually, both my Mk1 Roland Soundcanvas and my Yamaha SY35 *do* remember settings. They don't have MIDI controllable banks, but both remember last per channel programs, volume & pan. However, I mostly use Yoshimi these days, and 'state' on that preserves *everything* including master volume, detune and scales. I usually just load patch sets though, which are lighter weight but still have all programs, volume, pan, brightness and part key shift. So that's my starting point for a partly completed project. When starting from scratch I will tend to use Rosegarden's controls to make initial settings, and Yoshimi's for key shift and programs. As soon as I have more than 3 or 4 tracks started I'll save Yoshimi's current patch set. This is where the problems start. On the next startup, if I start Yoshimi first, Rosegarden connects and resets most of the controls to (now) wrong values. Changing bank root was a particular problem (now pretty much resolved) because it then meant Yoshimi was pointing to completely the wrong patches. If instead I start up Rosegarden first, it doesn't see Yoshimi, so I have to manually reconnect it. Now that last would seem to be the least problematical way to start, but I quite often like to start Yoshimi by itself. It will then automatically look for and connect to my keyboard, so I can just pootle* about for while and if inspiration strikes, start up Rosegarden and record. Now I have no idea at all how typical that is (is there such a thing), but to get things in perspective, I will say Rosegarden is much closer than any of the other sequencers I've used. Without naming names, one of the LV2 ones is particularly frustrating. It correctly does a complete state load... then resets all the controllers to their 'defaults' :( * "pootle" an arcane term used and understood only by the select few level 9 synthologists. -- W J G ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
