Hi, I would use Patchwork as a multi fx for my hardware synths, recalling several effect chains whit midi program changes.
It does works, but my synths transmits PC from 1 to 127 and in patchwork this PC's are reserved to the factory presets that are write protected.
Is possible in a future update resolve this issue?
Thanks

You can actually use many more presets than that. The factory presets are in bank #0, but if you place your own presets in a folder, it will become bank #1, and another folder, bank #2 etc.

If your synth can transmit Bank Select messages you can select the bank from there, or if you manually select any of the presets from this folder in PatchWork with the Preset menu, all subsequent Prog Change messages will select a program within this bank (=Folder).

Thank you,
I have already understood this, so I have created as many folders as my Prophet 10 has,
and this works very well, but on bank 1 I get the Factory presets.. so my question is: can you consider to take the choice to move the Factory presets to another arbitrary Program Bank?
Or to exclude the Factory presets from program change?

Maybe we can indeed add an option for it in the future. Is this a problem to have the first bank already used? There are still quite a few banks available... (16383)
