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 number? My idea is to write custom mappings per game for Roland MT-32 games, and possibly change the instruments used for General Midi games as well choosing a better piano, guitar or whatever. This way, I could make a great sounding Space Quest III mapping for example. I know I can use Munt for MT-32 games, but I want to experiment with making even better sounding music with the instruments the Sound Canvas has to offer. This is sort of like Midi Mapper in the old Windows days. Also, mapping things like sound effects would be great for games like Wing Commander.
We could even work on this together and share our results here potentially.
Thanks,
Mike
