Let’s check some of our bank and patch lists to see if they match up with what we see on the screen
of the XP-10. On the XP-10, let’s look at the
Vari 1 bank: if we look at tone (tone means the same as
patch) #005 in the Vari 1 bank on the XP-10, we see that it is called Detuned EP1 . If we change the
bank on a MIDI track to 128-Roland XP-10 Var #01 , and look at the menu of patches in the Pch
field, we see that there is no name listed for patch #004 (Roland numbers its patches from 1 to 128;
SONAR numbers patches from 0 to 127, so patch #004 in SONAR is the same patch number as
patch #005 on the Roland). Let’s look at some of the other Roland XP-10 patch name lists in the
right window of the Define Instruments and Names dialog box to see if another one has the right
patch names in it, and rename it Var #01 .
To substitute and rename a patch list
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Instruments and click the Define button to open the Define
Instruments and Names dialog box.
2. In the Names Tree window on the right, click the + sign on the Patches folder to expand the tree
of patch name lists.
3. Scroll down to the Roland XP-10 Var #08 list and click its + sign to expand it.
4. Compare the names on the Var #08 list with the patch names of the Vari 1 instruments on the
Roland’s display screen. You’ll see they are the same.
5. Let’s substitute the Var #08 list for the Var #01 list that SONAR currently lists as the XP-10’s
second bank, which has a bank change number of 128:
1. In the Instruments tree in the left window, click the Roland XP-10 entry to expand it, and
then expand the Patch Names for Banks list that’s directly under it.
2. Expand the Patch Names tree in the right window and find the Roland XP-10 Var #01 list (if
there is one) and right-click it to display the pop-up menu.
3. Choose Edit from the pop-up menu, and change the name from Roland XP-10 Var #01 to
Roland XP-10 Var #011 .
4. In the same tree find the Roland XP-10 Var #08 list and change the name from Roland XP-
10 Var #08 to Roland XP-10 Var #01 .
5. Drag the newly renamed list from the Patch Names tree in the right window to the Patch
Names for Banks tree in the left window.
6. In the Bank Number dialog box, enter 128 , and click OK .
6. Click the Close button to close the Define Instruments and Names dialog box and click OK to
close the Assign Instruments and Names dialog box.
Examine the new bank and patch data in a track that uses 1-Roland XP-10 as an output. In the Bnk
field, select 128 Roland XP-10 Var #01 , then look at the drop-down list of patches in the Pch field.
The list should now have the same names that the Roland keyboard uses for its Vari 1 bank.
The Roland XP-10, like most MIDI keyboards, allows you to create your own sounds and store them
in one or more User banks. You can create patch name lists in SONAR that are the same as the
names you gave to each of your own sounds.
