Package: vmpk
Version: 0.3.2-1
Severity: normal

Default instrument definition: /usr/share/vmpk/gmgsxg.ins
It contains 3 instruments:
The General MIDI instrument expose only bank 0
Using a midi controller to trigger a bank select works well with
the Yamaha XG instrument (XG Bank0, XG Bank 1(kSP)...)

The Roland GS can switch programs on bank0 "Roland GS Capital Tones",
but switching to bank 1 from MIDI, no bank is selected, and hence
no program is available.

Switching to bank 1 from vmpk, vmpk responds to Program Changes from MIDI
bank 1 is called "Roland GS Var #01" 

As I understand, it should be patch[1], not patch[128].
Note that vmpk actually imported the definition from qtractor,
although I didn't find it on my file system.
And qtractor segfaults at startup, so I can't look for it from the inside.
Or maybe the real GS kits expect that behaviour.

I will try modifying the definition file and report back.
(For now, a friend of mine who actually owns the controller just
dropped in and wants to play music with it, not code :)
