is there any way to programmatically extract, list, export or parse the names of sounds and their instrument and midi channel assignments from the rack?

You can export device descriptions as MIDNAM files, which is really simple XML that could be converted to any representation you might need.

Thanks. In the end I wrote a python script to extract and list the song rather than rack assignments, using the song export as musicxml option. Happy to share the script if anyone interested.

Also notes that midnam.xml only exports the device preset listing, rather than fixed rack assignments for devices.
