Ugh, I've run into that one before. If it doesn't mess up existing
sequences you can alter the GUIDs and patch numbers of the instruments
before copying them to the new DLS instrument. That way there's no
conflicts.
Somehow, I still remember having to go back and manually edit a bunch of
stuff :(
Here's a lamer answer: I do remember when playing with it, the order in
which you copy the instruments makes a difference in how scrambled
things get. Try a few different orders.
Wait, brain coming to life....Are you making these instruments outside
of Producer? I seem to remember my issue was with trying to combine
instruments I had converted from other formats in Awave. I think that's
why there wasn't a great solution, there was some kind of conflict
between the two programs.

Subject: [directmusic] Problems copying dls instruments from one
collection to another
I am trying to take a number of dls instruments which have been saved as
individual dls files and combine them into a single dls collection. To
do so
I insert the dls files into a common project and create a new dls
collection
which will hold all the instruments.
After I copy a dls instrument from the inserted collection then paste it
into the new dls collection which has at least one other instrument in
it, I
find that the new copy of the instrument has several of its wave
assignments
scrambled, usually choosing the waves of one of the other instruments in
the
target collection.
Is there a work around or patch for this problem aside from manually
rebuilding each instrument from scratch?
