Forwarding this to LAU, as no one has responded on linuxsampler-devel.

Hi,

I am having some trouble relating the instrument index that LS uses to
the one that FluidSynth (FS) displays.

For instance, for the FluidR3GM.SF2 that comes with FS, FS reads bank
0, program 0 as being "Yamaha Grand Piano" and bank 0, program 127
being "Gunshot". LS reads FluidR3GM.SF2 as having "Gunshot" as
instrument index 0 and 125 being "Yamaha Grand Piano". What logic is
LS using to determine these indexes?

Regards,

Kaspar

Just to make this a bit clearer:

LS reads:

0   - "Gunshot"
125 - "Yamaha Grand Piano"

FS reads

0,0   - "Yamaha Grand Piano"
0,127 - "Gunshot"
