OK, I'll split them out again into "Panel" and "GM" files.
GM is already covered by GM.rgd. GM is a standard. No need to
reinvent the file for the PSR-220.
The programs in GM2.rgd pretty closely match the GM programs listed in
the Yamaha manual.
GM2 is a different standard, so it will not quite match. You need to
be looking at the GM.rgd file.
However, the percussion instruments in the key mapping, though similar,
are different enough that I think the PSR-220 / PSR-230 needs its own GM
file (or, GM2 needs to accommodate the differences, if it can).
Again, check the GM.rgd file. It should be closer.
More importantly(?) The controls are different.
Many of those are not useful. These are the critical ones:
1: Modulation
7: Volume
10: Pan
11: Expression
91: Reverb
These are on/off, and rosegarden doesn't really support those well.
You can include them if you want:
64: Sustain (Hold 1)
65: Portamento ON/OFF
66: Sostenuto
See the Yamaha-P105.rgd for what I usually do for these three:
<control name="Sustain" type="controller" description="<none>"
min="0" max="127" default="0" controllervalue="64"
colourindex="4" ipbposition="-1"/>
<control name="Sostenuto" type="controller" description="<none>"
min="0" max="127" default="0" controllervalue="66"
colourindex="4" ipbposition="-1"/>
<control name="Portamento" type="controller" description="<none>"
min="0" max="127" default="0" controllervalue="84"
colourindex="4" ipbposition="-1"/>
but the PSR-220
has controls that aren't in the GM2 as well, and I suspect those might
be handy to have around...
This is usually the case. Go with my recommendations above.
So, I'm still not sure what to do about the colourindex and
ipbposition values for those.
Copy the controls block from GM.rgd. Go with the colourindex values
from there. ipbposition should be as follows:
pan: 0
reverb: 1
volume: 2
All the rest should be -1.
That's it.
Ted.
