Description
Bug Summary
It is possible to get Vestige MIDI-tables. Some are supposed to 'replace' the internal MIDI-chip, others are meant to emulate famous MIDI-Tables from hard-synths.
At least two of these does not work properly in LMMS.
- SYXG VST : https://veg.by/en/projects/syxg50/
- Edirol roland orchestra 1.03 vst
Expected behavior
The expected behaviour would be General MIDI-table-support Similar to SF2 with GeneralUser-MIDI-file

This works reported in VST-HOST
Actual behavior
There is only one patch available (1. Grand-piano)
There are no patch-selector or any other way to access any bank.
There are no Dial-array either (Array opens, but is empty)

Even though LMMS has SF2, it may be something needed to be worked at.
Affected LMMS versions
at least >= 1.2.2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the SYXG VST and Edirol Roland Orchestra 1.03 in LMMS, then compare their behavior with the reported VST-host behavior. Done means MIDI banks and patches are selectable and the relevant dial arrays expose their controls instead of only the Grand Piano patch.
