Yes it's there for those that are interested. The compromise I came up with
was
as follows.
By default you have normal .xiz loads and saves from/to all sources.
In Yoshimi->Settings...->Main settings there is a new entry 'Saved Instrument
Format'. This can be set for Legacy (.xiz) Yoshimi (.xiy) or both.
Exactly what you select will be saved. The Yoshimi format includes all the
controllers, The part Mode status (Poly Mono, Legato) and the Humanise
setting.
When loading files Yoshimi will always look for .xiy ones first, and if it
can't
find them will then look for .xiz ones.
There are two caveats.
The more problematical one is when handling instruments in banks. If you
set for only Legacy or only Yoshimi but have previously set for both, saving
to
such a dual entry will erase the one you haven't selected. I don't know why
that happens at the moment (banks are 'interesting').
The minor one is that FLTKs file manager only recognises one file type at a
time (unless someone knows different) so will only show .xiz instruments.
However you can manually set for .xiy, and yoshimi's controls will then take
over, and recent history will be correctly updated as will the last instrument
seen.
