Viena Feature Request: Export Percussion Kit instrument list

Post by quattj »

I am looking for a way to produce a list all of the percussion in my soundfonts, the same way VirtualMIDISynth and Viena can export an instrument list for all of the instruments in the soundfont. Both will export a list of names of the percussion KITS, but not a list of what each percussion kit actually contains.

For example, in ColomboGMGS2, there is a percussion kit (62) called Cartoon FX. The name "Cartoon FX" is exported, but not what sounds are actually in "Cartoon FX". Not having a list of what FX are in the kit makes it difficult to select an item at a glance without having to manually listen to every sample.

Is it possible to have an export feature like this added in to Viena? It would really help on the project I am working on, which by my current estimates will probably take another 4-5 years for me to complete, so anything that can improve my workflow would be much appreciated. :)

Thanks for this suggestion. I am currently in the process of finalizing the next release of Viena and I will do my best to add this feature.

Actually, this feature is in some way already available. In File menu, at the bottom you find a menu item "Export note names" (bad name!). Have a look!

Oh, fantastic! This is just what I am looking for. I can use a text editor to modify it to fit my needs. If you can make an option to do them all at once, that would also be great! Thanks!

Great! Yes, I can certainly extend this feature a little bit.
