Hoping some of the Kurzweil gurus out there might be able to offer some advice on a project I've started;
I want to play commercial MIDI files that are intended for GM compatible instruments on my K2VP. So the right sounds are assigned to the 16 parts I've started cross referencing. I'm half way to making a mapping table. The table contains the GM patch name and number, and the closest match in the K2000VP program list. The idea is that using software from Sweetwater I will convert the files, replacing the GM patch numbers with the Kurzweil ones. There are other ways to do it, but they use sample RAM and mess up the factory programs.
When done, I want to just load the converted MIDI files, complete with the re-assigned program numbers and have the K2VP play them in song mode without having to edit anything.
Has anyone else done it...?
Here's the first 24 programs in the GM standard...mapped to what I think is the closest K2VP one.
