Yoshimi can have up to 64 parts. By default these are wraped
around the normal MIDI channels, so 1, 17, 33 & 49 all respond
to channel 1 messages. This was originally implemented for
Vector Control, working with up to four sounds on a channel
(similar to the Yamaha SY hardware series).
However, these have other less obvious uses. One of these is
getting far more than 16 completely independent tracks addressed
by just the 16 channels. Most tunes run with instruments having
a relatively narrow pitch range, and this is what we can make
use of.

With a 61 note keyboard that gives you quite a useful working
range, on just one channel.
Thanks for pointing this! I wasn’t aware of the warping
feature. This setup sounds very interesting for the kind of music
I try to play these days (Middle-Eastern dabkkeh, in Omar
Souleyman’s style). It involves frequent changes of instruments,
each instrument playing on a very narrow range… Right on, I’ll try
it asap!
