hello !
Were is the possibility to change the bank select MSB and LSB in the program change ?
in the list editor, when I insert a program change, the value 1 (0-127) is the sound select. But what about the bank select ?
I'm using an Roland Expander JV 1010 with 10 banks with 128 sounds for each.
for example to have one sound we have
bank select
MSB : 81
LSB : 2
number of program : 120

So, I need 3 values. I can see only one in the program change in the list Editor.
What about ?

Thank you.

MIDI Bank Select messages are separate mesages from Program Changes.

See: http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec/bank.htm

Bank select = MIDI Controller 0 and 32.

Also found via a little google:

"Controller 0 - Bank Select MSB is used in conjunction often with the Bank Select LSB to select the bank for the next program change message. This means the patch does not change until the program change is received (bank messages alone are not enough). The combination of Bank MSB and LSB messages gives a possible 16384 banks, each of 128 different sounds, giving over 2 million possible sounds!"

Conclusion: you should insert the proper controller 0/32 message(s) just before that program change.

Thank you
My questions was about Mulab.
where are MSB and LSB parameters to configure a bank select ?
or how to have a similar evenement ?

In the list editor:

Note that the current version 1.1 does not yet show the controller names like you see here; instead the controller numbers are shown (i.e. 0 and 32).

The next MU.LAB version uses the controller names, like you see here.

But the principle about how to use stays the same.

Hope this helps :)
