Increment Bank 1. If the synth doesn t change sounds, it probably doesn t use these messages
either. You can then disable Bank 1 also.
NOTE: In general, earlier synths didn t have as many different patches due to a number of
concerns (size of internal memory mainly). If you have an older synth that only has 127 sounds
available you probably don t need to worry about Bank messages.
NOTE CONCERNING BANK MESSAGES AND SMF EXPORT: When exporting your work as
a SMF (Standard MIDI File), the initial program/bank parameters will be exported at time zero.
This ensures that the correct messages will be sent to any connected synths, and that the desired
patches will be recalled.

Monitoring with transpose has been enhanced
Changes were made to enable non-destructive transpose to be more versatile in its monitoring options.
It now works as follows:
A.
If Record Transposed is Unchecked, both playback and monitored notes are transposed.
Recording in this state will cause the notes being played live to be recorded in the original (non-
transposed) key. When played back however, the notes will be heard transposed. This allows for
monitoring in the correct key (post transposition) while recording, but retains the original
performance.
B.
If Record Transposed is checked however, the notes monitored live and the notes being
recorded are transposed, while the playback is NOT. This was done to ensure that your
performance is not transposed twice —
once while being recorded and once upon playback.
9.
MIDI meters now show highest value
On the Overview, Track, and Mixer screens (both LCD and VGA), any meter displaying MIDI data
will be showing the largest velocity of the notes currently playing.
10.
SMF import is now an undoable action
It is now possible to undo the action of importing an SMF (Standard MIDI File) into the current project.
NOTE: The Conductor track is enabled upon SMF import, but it is not de-enabled if the action is
undone.
11.
Default MIDI Input Filter changed
All system messages except SYSEX are now filtered by default. This will only take affect for new
project. Prior to V1.50, it was impossible to record these events into the sequencer as well; this has
been removed in V1.50.
12.
Adding 14 bit MIDI control events
In the sequencer, adding controller data or program changes was complicated by the fact that some
manufacture rs require a bank select control message with a program change, or use both the
MSB and LSB versions of a controller value. Prior to V1.50, the user would have to add each of
these events individually, and in the correct order.
In V1.50, the Add Program change and Add Control Change Edit-ops have been enhanced to
allow adding these in one operation.
