Yamaha SW1000XG and Live 8

Hi Livers !

I have just switched from Cubase to Live and want to know if anyone using Live in combination with the good ol´ Yamaha SW1000XG MIDI Card ?

For short explanation, the SW1000XG is a Soundcard with ASIO Support and has also a complete XG-MIDI Soundchip with 1200 Sounds and 25 DrumKits. It is now outdated and no longer available but still is a great "workateer" for Music production.

In Cubase it was possible to import a Patch List wich was a simple Textfile that contains all the Soundnames an the corresponding ProgramChange Values. You could then choose every Sound or DrumKit from the card very easy by klicking on a DropDown Menu in the "Inspector".

Is this also possible in Live 8.2.1 ?
How can I choose some MIDI-Voices from internal Soundcards ?

Thank you for support and get FUNKY ;-)

DaSa
