Re: MIDI Instrument creation script

Hello List,

For almost half a year, you'd think I was dead. But I'm not, even if 
this damn job is killing me without giving me time to think about my 
home studio.

First of all, thanks to Ted and Chuck for fixing the txt2rgb.py script, 
which works perfectly.

Then here's the missing peripheral file for the Roland SR-JV80-07 
extension (Super Sound Set) to which I've also included the percussion 
key mappings for the 8 Drum Sets.

According to my tests, both Patch banks and Rhythm Sets work, 
nevertheless with a limitation that I think is a Rosegarden bug, unless 
you can explain where I'm wrong: it's impossible within the same device 
to manage both Patches and Rhythm Sets for the same MSB. Rosegarden only 
accepts one bank with the same LSB, even if you check the percussion 
box, which I think is precisely designed to manage this conflict. At 
this stage, my only solution is to create two devices for my JV1080, one 
for patches on MIDI channels 1-9/11-16 and another specific to 
percussion on channel 10 to manage rhythm sets. Frustrating.
Following your reply, I'm going to update the JV1080 and the SR-JV80-09 
(Session) extension devices to include key mapping. Some users might be 
interested.

NB: I'm using version 20.12 of Rosegarden (Librazik 4 Distribution), 
which may explains why I may be encountering a problem that has been 
solved on more recent versions.
