sim1969 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hi to everybody. I have a strange issue with my xw-p1. I try to play a midi file with rosegarden and jack in linux - i use a SalixOs, a Slackware derivative. I play a midi file to the xw-p1, but channel 10 is not recognized, and play piano instead of drums (standard set). It seems that xw-p1 is not entering General Midi mode. That file plays ok if I use fluidsynth (a soft synthesizer) or if I plug an Edirol SK500, without doing anything except connect rosegarden to those midi synths. Am I mistaking something? Also: I tried to play midi file from inside an sd card (directory musicdata). When the xw-p1 plays the midi file, I cannot do anything other than listen to it; it seems all blocked. Is it possible to play the xw-p1 while playing a midi file from the sd card? Thank you. Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertyuy Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I tried to play a wav file from the SD card some time ago,and entering the player I could only use the solosynth 0-0. Not sure if it's the same with MIDI files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertyuy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I checked that out with some midi files I downloaded from the internet, and you can use any sound from channel 1 (being it a hex layer, solo synth, or pcm tone that you choose before entering player mode, you can't change it while you play the midi file).

mertyuy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Also, the drums are changed for an organ, or a piano, don't know if there's a way to change it back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim1969 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Ok. Thanks a lot for you help. It's ok I can choose the tone before. Relating to midi, it seems something related to the sequencer I'm using. I used VanBasco (under Windows Xp) and the playback was Ok. If I discover something else I'll let you know. Thanks again.
