THAT is indeed more expansive than the GM List. I'm sure I recognise some of them from your many "offerings" for the Fusionkpr wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 12:16 pm Chris,
true, the categories for sounds have become a bit more since the General MIDI list. I once offered this in a sampling workshop, to expand it like this
Pianos
Electric Pianos
Clavi Type
Keyboards
Organ
Chromatic Percussion, Idiophonics
Accordion, Harmonica
Acoustic Guitar
Electric Guitar
Plucked Instruments
Acoustic Bass
Electric Bass
Synth Bass
Strings (Solo, Section)
Orchestrals
Choir, Vocals
Brass (Solo, Section)
Reed
Pipe
Woodwind
Synth Lead
Synth Pad
Synth Percussive
Synth Layer
Drums, Percussion
Loops
Special Sound Effects
Soundscapes
Certainly it depends on what styles someone puts their music in, so you can take that as a starting point and add other sub-categories. With Fusion, they didn't think that far ahead and so there is no renaming function or an "add new category".
Can I ask which bank editor you are using? I really want to go through the HD sounds on my Fusion and tidy it up. I am thinking along the lines of creating a new bank for say Synth Bass, Elec Bass, Piano, PianoFX, Warm Pads, Hard Pads Etc. In my head the best way for me to achive this would be to have two banks open on the PC at a time. One would be my new bank and the other an existing bank which I would copy across the patches I wanted to keep and then simply remove the bank from the fusion. I would do this with all the Fusion HD banks and end up with a library system more akin to what I am used to seeing in my VST libraries. Is this possible, is there a better way of doing it? It wouldnt be so bad if the patches were only in one folder location but a lot of them are in sample, multisample and program. If i was doing this manually without software would i need to go into each folder and drag over each of the patches from the 3 different folders. Also what about the bank text file, would I need to type in all the patch names etc? No doubt there will be a very good document on here somewhere which will be of help. I will have a look when i get home (im at work
I just connect using USB and clean things up directly on the hard disk. But you have to understand how songs and mixes reference programs, and how programs reference samples, before you can do this. If you move your mixes and songs around, it's safe. If you move your programs around you have to fix the references in mixes and songs. If you move samples around you will have real trouble.
I believe the best achievable is:
I have only done tiny edits to sounds, using either a hex editor or alliance hd. There was one parameter I needed to set to a value higher than what was permitted in the Fusion UI.Jokeyman123 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 2:33 pm Hadley-what editor/librarian are using for editing the Fusion sounds on your computer?
