Bachus,
The Yamaha Analog plug-in card has 2 banks of Preset Voices. MSB 036 - LSB 000 and MSB 036 - LSB 001. I created dummy banks in YEM and assigned those banks using LSBs 000 and 001.
I bought a midi solutions Event Processor to remap the MSB 063 to
036 for those analog card Voices in my MU128.
http://www.midisolutions.com/prodevp.htmI placed the Event Processor just before the MIDI In on the MU128 so it doesn't effect the Motif Rack SX. You can do this for any external sound module or keyboard, but you need a Event Processor for each external instrument. The thing is you must assign the correct LSB in YEM, because there doesn't seem to be a way to program the Event Processor remap both the MSB and LSB. (I could be wrong about that)
The software to program the Event Processor is FREE... you can download it here and check it out. The software is portable so it doesn't have to be installed.
http://www.midisolutions.com/progtool.htmThe scripts are in the RTF format. There are example templates provided you can look at, then try creating your own to see if you can accomplish what you want. You can write up to 10 different settings per script, as I stated above, if you want to access different external instruments using dummy expansion packs you will need a separate processor for each instrument.
A dummy expansion pack is simply a pack without wave forms. Create a new Voice pack and simply type in the Voice names for your external sound module/instrument voice bank and save. When you install the dummy pack it will show up the same as any other expansion pack. When you select a Voice for your external instrument, Genos will transmit the MSB LSB and Program Change over MIDI and call up the Voice in the external instrument.
I have my Proteus sound module, Motif Rack SX, MU128, and computer all patched into an audio mixer. The
audio Out is plugged into my S970
Aux In so the audio from all my sound modules and computer goes thru my S970 and can be recorded to the on-board USB audio recorder.
So... when I choose the analog Voices for my AN card, or the Motif, I can hear all sounds though my headphones or speakers on the S970. It's perfect integration of these external instruments as if they were expansion packs. The one limitation is the external Voices can only be used as R1 Voices.
I hope this gives you some ideas on how you can use the V3sounds Sonority XXL.
