Checking bank numbers
You can calculate bank numbers by using the methods described in “Assigning the Bank Select
method” on page 1240, but you might find it easier to use the following method:
To check the bank numbers
1. Set up a MIDI track to record from your MIDI keyboard or module.
2. Click the Record button to start recording, and change banks on your keyboard.
3. Stop recording, and open the Event List view.
4. The bank change you recorded is displayed in the Event List view in this way: in the Data column
you’ll see what kind of bank change method your keyboard uses (probably Normal), and in the
column to the right of that data is the number of the bank you changed to.
When we changed the Roland XP-10 to the User 1 bank, we recorded a bank number of 8192.
To create a patch name list for your own sounds
1. You could create a new list by copying and renaming an existing list (right-click a list and choose
New Patch Name List from the pop-up menu), but since the instrument definition we imported
for the XP-10 includes a list called Roland XP-10 User Tone 1 , let’s just edit that one: in the
Names Tree window on the right, right-click the Roland XP-10 User Tone 1 list and choose Add
Patch Name from the pop-up menu.
A new patch field appears, with the text
0=0
inside.
2. Replace the first number in the Patch field with the number of a patch you stored in User Bank 1
on the Roland.
3. Replace the second number in the Patch field with the name you made up for the patch you just
gave a number to, and press ENTER.
4. Assign names to as many patch numbers as you want—the numbers between 0 and 127 that
you don’t assign any names to show up in the Track view
Patch menu just as patch numbers
with no other names.
5. When you finish assigning names, drag your edited patch list to the Roland XP-10 Patch Names
for Banks tree in the left window.
6. Enter 8192 as the bank number, which we know is the correct bank number from the previous
procedure.
7. 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.
Now you can select the 8192-Roland XP-10 User Tone 1 bank in the Bank field of a MIDI track, and
then examine the patch list in the Patch menu: you should see the patch list that you just created.
