Hi List,
I have a Proteus 1 and last night I found that in the v5 multisets a
multi-instrument for the Pro 1 was made.
The maker has it set up for 2 banks, one for sounds 0-127, the second for
sounds 128-191.
Here is the catch though: the Pro1 doesn't respond to the second bank
changes.
It still selects the first bank, for example even if I select sound 128, the
Proteus changes to sound 0.
I'm not surprised by the Proteus behavior since I read in the manual that
the
Pro1 cannot "normally" access program change numbers over 127 and
that you
can "re-map" the sounds using the MASTER MENU of the Proteus, but
you can
only assign 127 different sounds to the 127 program change numbers.
(You know, like the Proteus 1 was made before "new" MIDI banks
were made?)
Ok, so providing that my rambling above makes sense to somebody here are my
actual questions:
1) Is there a way in the Environment to "add" value to the program
change and
make the Proteus 1 select those 128-191 patches?
2) If not then why was does the multiset for the Pro1 even include the
second
bank?
Is it just for my ease of use if I did want to remap some of the sounds
inside the Pro1?
I suspect that question 1 can't be done, but then again, the Pro 1 manual
later says that "Banks may be requested using the preset request
command and
the appropriate preset code listed below"
And also maybe the Environment gurus out there can help a novice like me.
Well, my long post is over now...hope I didn't forget anything ... and hope
I
was clear in what I am looking to do.
Regards,
