Hi David,
Right now, I'm trying to set up the instrument file for the Roland
XV-5050 and the SRX board.
How is the syntax when there are more then a patch and a bank?
Here is something from the SRX-manual:
(BANK SELECT MSB : 93; LSB : 7 [No.001-128], LSB : 8 [No.129-256], LSB ;
9 [No.257-384], LSB;10 [No.385-449])
How do I set the MSB and LSB's?
This sounds like SRX-06, Complete Orchestra?
I've got the same board in my Fantom-XR.
I can save you a lot of work: I have already put together an instrument file
that lists *all* the 12 SRX cards (the 3 sample ones are not listed). I use
this file with my Fantom-XR. So, I'll put this instrument list addition on
the website (I've meant to do that for a while). I'll let you know when
it's done.
But, in answer to your question, here's how Bank MSB, LSB and bank number
work together:
The Bank MSB value is the raw MIDI controller #0 number and the Bank LSB is
the raw MIDI controller #32 value. Together they define the complete bank
number.
QWS shelters you from having to deal with two numbers and combines them into
a single bank number. The formula is:
bank = (MSB * 128) + LSB
So, for example, in the case of the first 128 programs in the SRX-06 card,
MSB=93 and LSB =7:
bank = (93 * 128) + 7 = 11911
So, the first program on SRX-06, called WarmVlns SRX would have the
instrument list entry:
-1, 0,11911,WarmVlns SRX
So, as I said, I'll try to upload the instrument list addition that contains
all SRX cards and you can append the relevant sections to your XV-5050 file.
Hope this helps.
James.
