Re: MIDI Bank Select proposal (was Re: [fluid-dev] Re: Son of ticket #65)

Another option, rather than try to guess what bank select mode to use would be to default to the GS standard, but have an option to use XG mode--this could even be a switch added to Qsynth easily enough for us GUI folks.

That being said, if the guessing is pretty foolproof, then that's probably the best option.

I had no complaints with how bank selects worked in 1.0.9--it's exactly the
same way my SoundFont-compatible Audigy hardware works.  I don't see the
need to support XG mode when the SoundFont standard doesn't really use that
mode at all.  There is a lot more that goes into XG-compatibility than the
way banks are selected.
    

There are XG SoundFonts, and issues have been discussed in this list several 
times.
