Hi,
I would like to connect Improvisor to Linuxsampler. In Impro-Visor midi
channels seems to be sticked to a particular instrument e.g. 36 =
acoustic bass. Afaik it's not possible to customize that in Impro-Visor.
How do I assign a instrument in LS to Impro-visor, e.g. how do I make
sure that my bass sample in LS is played bij Impro-visor when the bass
is playing?
For drums it's not an problem, it's channel 10. But LS hasn't a channel
36, only till 16.
Thanks in advance,
\R

36 is not a MIDI channel. Its a MIDI patch number. If improvisor sends
a patch change message and if LS has a sample bank loaded that has a
bass sample associated with patch 36, things will work. otherwise,
you'd have to manually force LS to the bass sample.

Midi channels, Midi instruments banks, Midi ports, Midi instrument patch
numbers ...
Thanks, I'll explore further.

then don't set channels to all, but instead find out what channel
improvisor sends the bass notes on and use just that.

Hey Dirk,

Midi channels,
1-16 (0-15) on most hardware devices. Some interfaces support more than
16 channels.
Midi instruments banks,
AFAIK there's no particular limit to the number of banks a device can
have. A bank is chosen with a Bank Select message.
Midi ports,
Physical ports on hardware synths are typically limited to In, Out, and
Thru. Hardware MIDI interfaces may include several in and Out ports. And
of course you can create virtual ports with ALSA's snd-virmidi.
Midi instrument patch numbers ...
0-127 per bank.
See, isn't MIDI easy ? ;)
Best,
dp

Doh. Of course, it's the Magic MIDI number.
