Fields

ID maps

ID maps are TSV files.

• MSB defines the cc0 (bank MSB) value of the voice.
• PRG defines the PC (program change) value of the voice.
• LSB defines the cc32 (bank LSB) value of the voice.
• NME defines the 8-character ID of the voice.
• ELC defines the element count (minus one) of the voice.
  • When set to 0, the voice takes up one element. 1 for two, 2 for three, the same goes on.
  • When set to 16, the voice is treated as a drum kit.
  • When set to 17, the voice is treated as a voice menu.
  • Any value above is not defined.
• DRM defines the drum map ID used. Can also be used by voice menus.

Drum maps

Drum maps are custom script files.

• drm defines the current drum map ID to write to.
  • e.g. drm xgStdKit switches to xgStdKit.
• dcp copies parameters from a set drum kit.
  • e.g. dcp xgStdKit copies parameters from xgStdKit to the current drum kit.
• nno defines the current drum note number to write to.
  • e.g. nno 39 switches to 39.
• npw writes multiple parameters to a single drum note.
  • npw <note> <exclusiveGroup> <elementCount>
• neg sets the exclusive group (aka. alternate assign) of the current note number. Defaults to 0 (disabled).
• nec sets the note element count of the current note number. Defaults to 1.

Voice Maps

See all of the correct names.

Major maps contains Yamaha-ish voice/kit IDs, not actual names. Actual names for devices require additional maps.

Blank names can either mean placeholder or silence.
