I think I've found, at least, part of the solution. So what have I done? Added a MIDI Out channel which I want to communicate with my soundcard, press F9 to open Effects window and then select FruityLSD. In Fruity LSD window its possible to change each channel patch. When I selected one patch I noticed that there were many more than the usual 127 GM MIDI patches. I think this is part of the solution because I think that I could not obtain all patches and, also, because at the top of Fruity LSD window, where its possible to change the soundbank it says Roland GM/GS soundset (instead of Yamaha XG). If I could find something called XG.dls.......maybe I could have solved my problem. Let me have your oppinion about this method, maybe there´s another one easier.
