Yeah, I thought you were taking advantage of some new feature that was going to make it all a lot less unwieldy than it is to manage variations relative to their basic program numbers, but now that I've looked, I see you did essentially the same thing I did. > What is unclear to me is how to exclude (id needed) these banks from the > "variation" concept.

I named my banks the way I did to reflect how useful things are. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, etc. No scheme really works very well, and GS isn't quite consistent with itself. There's a bass in FX 1, for example, but 1-7 and 9 are mostly only sound effects. (Unfortunately, there are also sound effects in 8.) MSB 8 are the "primary" variations because if I hit the variation button on the vast majority of my patches, I'll get the variation at MSB 8 as the first variation, and the variation at MSB 16 as the next one (for most, though 16/24/32 is a bit of a toss up), and so on. The reason I named mine as I did is because RG only displays something that's there. If you start with Piano 1 and want to dial up Piano 1w, the first variation, then that's not directly possible. It displays the first variation in the next MSB along the way, which is that bass (and which is attached to a different basic program number), and then you dial through several sound effects which are also attached to different basic program numbers. Eventually when you get to what I call "Primary Variations" and what you call "var8" you find Piano 1w, the primary variation of Piano 1. Either way it's rather a pain in the ass to get from Piano 1 to Piano 1w, but when I cobbled this together, I felt like my scheme would at least make it easier for me to zero in on the banks that are most likely to have useful variations. "Syn Bass 101" or whatever it is is *not* a variation of "Piano 1" and the way RG presents this is misleading. I was just trying to cope with something that isn't really built to accommodate my synth's scheme very conveniently. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 Confirmed post number: 16387 Approximate word count: 1638700 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
