Hello All,
I've got the hardware connections between Rosegarden 1.6.0 and my
Roland Sound Expansion module M-OC1 (orchestra) model working.
I would like to get the banks and patch names on the M-OC1 recognized
by Rosegarden.
When I try the Studio-> Manage Midi Devices ; I see the list of play
devices. I've seen the Rosegarden supplied .rgd files and how they
will add a synth with all of the patch names supplied; but how do I
create such a file for the M-OC1?
I've tried my best guess and typed in the first bank of 128 names,
found no way to save it, and lost the work.
How should I be doing this?
I also have a Roland Sound Expansion module M-GS64 with multiple
banks. I'd be happy to send these .rgd files to the Rosegarden
people, but I don't know how to encode them. Also, any tips on how to
specify MSB, LSB would be helpful. The first bank on the M-OC1 shows
CC0: 80; CC32:0. The second bank shows CC0: 81; CC32:0. How does
that get encoded into the MSB, LSB, that Rosegarden uses?
Thanks All,
Stephen.

From Manage MIDI Devices, click Banks... for the bank editor window (this is
probably the window you typed the names into already), then enter the names,
click Apply to put the changes into effect, and click Export... to save as
a .rgd file. You can reload that device by selecting the .rgd file in the
import device dialog, and/or install it by hand to the same directory as the
other .rgd files in the library.
The bank editor window in Rosegarden is buggy and painful to use, and it's
been that way for far too long, but it does broadly work.
Note also that the .rgd format (like the .rg composition file format) is
really just gzipped XML, so it's possible to hack the files by hand based on
other existing files if so inclined.
The first bank on the M-OC1 shows CC0: 80; CC32:0.
The second bank
shows CC0: 81; CC32:0. How does that get encoded into the MSB, LSB,
that Rosegarden uses?
The CC0 value is the MSB, CC32 is the LSB. So you have MSB=80 or 81 and
LSB=0.

Thanks very much, Chris.
I never saw the Apply button. The KDE panel at the bottom of the
screen was hiding it, and I couldn't resize the dialog window.
Moving my panel to the side allowed me to gain access to the Apply button.
Perhaps Apply should be a menu item for that dialog box?
Thanks again, Chris.
