No it's not...stop trying to make mountains where none exist Diki...I really get tired of so-called experts trying to make out like it is all rocket science..

Get your head OUT of the standard midi patch a bank setups...Remember you have 128 different variations of ONE instrument for each VSTi....you are still trying to use a single synth patch ROM that contains ALL instruments...no a bank of 128 dedicated to one instrument...

You may need to justify your arguments to yourself, but they don't cut it with me...

All I am going to reiterate is I got it working rather nicely (not to mention relatively easily) using styles from Roland Korg and Ketron. Granted some midi data needed editing (octaves and in a few cases drum note mapping, although this is the case even with using standard arrangers now with converting style data. (I avoid Yamaha styles because of all the other crap they stick in them)

I had no issues with snares transitioning from sticks to flams to rims - it is all in the midi data setup...it is after all only midi data setup if one REALLY wants to get that picky....nothing new or flash in all of that.

It took me a while to get away from the "standard" midi setups too, but once you "get" the whole process it really is rather easy and in my view simpler....as I said before one does not have to worry much about trying to access upper banks of data.

ALL you need remember (and even this can be setup in re-usable templates on sequencer apps) is what VSTi is assigned to what channel...after that just pick a number using the default bog standard mid patch selection from 0-127 (1-128) and there you are you have 128 different guitar setups to choose from, or drums or basses or whatever....

Anyway, that is enough of an explanation. I am not getting involved in any more discussion here...I think most folks here who can think laterally and out of the box can figure it out...it really is NOT rocket science....
