Thanks again! That sounds perfect. Have a great weekend!

I'm using my own player also known here on Vogons as 'FSMP' You can find its topic by clicking on my signature, but you can also download it from my site: http://falcosoft.hu/softwares.html#midiplayer Just got my Sound Canvas just in time for the weekend. Loving it already! I am using your Midi …

Very cool! I think I have heard of it too. ;-) I also created my own MIDI player (sort of) back in the old days that had the same reset functionality, but I cheated. I programmed Quick Basic and ran "shell" commands with another MIDI file player to do GS resets before each MIDI file. Basically, I …

What MIDI player are you using?

Here is basically what I am talking about. It just needs to happen in real time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_iK8tKpBxE

Thanks for keeping me grounded. I want to try anyway. I don't have expectations of perfection, and I expect downsides like what was mentioned about the sound effects. I am mostly thinking about the music. I don't know if MIDI-OX can specify the volume or not, but if it can then I could basically …

Rather than put it into MT-32 mode which is one specific mapping, put it into my own mode that I custom write to it with different …

Talking to myself so far, but did more research and found that Reaper with ReaControlMIDI may be a good way to work with SysEx commands. I don't know how easy it is to create MIDI files with SysEx commands in them, but I will try after I get my Sound Canvas.

This is a very interesting and somewhat helpful article: https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/depth-midi-functions-of-roland-sound-canvas/ In the section "F. Splits and Layers" it looks like it is possible to reassign instruments to a part/channel, and it also has the sections "G. Drum …

Hello, I am anxiously waiting to receive my Roland SC-55 mkII delivery in the next day or so, and I was wondering... Is there a way to create MIDI files that can send messages (Sysex or whatever) to the Sound Canvas and tell it what instrument to play instead of the default for that instrument …
