Ok , I figured out that MSB:0 is for preset patterns and MSB:1 is for the user patterns...pheww!!1

Now if I use my sound module in performance/Multi mode I wonder if I'll be able to assign midi channels to instruments from the different user patterns or am I restricted to only one pattern?? Wow that would be awesome if I could, it would save me a lot of time.


I'm gonna check it out.

Thanks again J

No problem..anytime.


In performance mode, you should be able to choose/assign any instrument/patch in your synth to that performance.

Ok...yeah I did a search in the pdf manual of my module and it doesn't say anything about Multimode maybe it's not multitimbral,but since it has a 20 pad polyphony doesn't this mean it's multitimbral? My other synth is mono-phonic so this means it can't be multitimbral, right?? The final keyboard I work with(roland JV-30) is definitely multitimbral, it says it right on it and setting that one up it very simple.

edit: I know the mono phonic synth can have up to 5 synth parts I got that much....so never mind on that.

Here's a better understanding clik on link below.

http://www.midi.org/about-midi/tutorial/tutor.shtml

only thing you need to know is basic. But on each midi module there's an ID to getting in on different banks ,like with the proteuse2000 ID is MSB/00-LSB 1-3 User ,and Programs would be let say MSB/13 LSB 1-7 Banks,now with the Mo-phatt chip in the P2k MSB is I think 04 LSB 1-8.
Now I have the triton and It's Id is MSB 63 and 67 LSB A-H which in turns
A is 1 B is 2 and so on.

let me know if you need setting up your midi it's easy. 8)
