The instrument id is a string... so don't pay much attention to the number. The first instrument you add gets mapped to 36. The next is 37. The next is 38. etc... Instruments are added in document order (the XML file). Yeah, it's not the greatest system... but that's what we've inherited. :-) A good point of reference would be to compare the GMkit/drumkit.xml to the General Midi spec for drum note mappings: http://www.midi.org/techspecs/gm1sound.php > Is it true that h2kits are limited to 32 instruments? I don't think so. I don't see any limits in the code.... and if there are, I'm sure they're arbitrary, compile-time software limits that are simple to change. -gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
