Add more GS MIDI resets
freq-mod opened this issue · 6 comments
The sequel to #24 - sometimes, MIDI program names still won't appear.
GSMIDI.zip - contain a few examples of such songs. Most of these should be Edirol SD-20/SC-8820, however PASSPORT.MID and CANYON.MID... aren't they plain SC-55 songs? Why is one instrument name not recognized?
These do not have an explicit reset.
The best way to handle these is that the software scans the file for programs to match them against the database, and use this information to detect the midi specification.
Anyway, I should send systematically a reset before new tracks, because some of the synths have problems resetting with just the GM sequence.
So I'll do like this: if file lacks a reset sequence at the start, I'll scan the file to identify which MIDI spec it belongs to, and then I'll send the matching reset.
I would say it's OK, yet one minor problem: MushiHS_Stage2.mid.zip
Channel 10 percussion set track name is blank, can anything de done about it?
Done, the fall back will apply to percussion banks also
Thanks! If I find a song that can't fall back, I will reopen this issue.
