Frank,
I understand from previous e-mails that you have 2 problems with the drumsounds in Yamaha styles.
1. Yamaha styles use drumbank 16256 instead of 127.
2. You want to remap the drum notes.
The drumnotes converter in OMB is for that purpose. I used it to convert hundreds of arabic styles.
Jos,
Could you please elaborate from which
keyboards the original Arabic styles you mention are from?
Also, for those Arabic styles from Yamaha,
could you also please tell me on which
channels the drum tracks are usually on?
I would like to assemble a soundfont that
has all the Yamaha oriental drumkits(much
like Frank has done with all the standard XG kits using SynerGigs). This would insure the
ethnic styles sound as they should, since
too many sounds have no counterparts in GM, GS, or standard XG kits. I am not necessarily interested in having the highest quality sounds available(at this time), but just want to use the original styles with their original sounds.
Thanks much for any assistance.
