HI illiac, I have tried to do what you told me but unfortunately I can understand the parameters of midi implementation, for me is like reading in chinese and I have no idea how to apply them - can you please explain me in deteail stap by step?

what means?

Bank select (controller number 0,32)
status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 00H mmH
BnH 20H IIH

BANK SELECT PROGRAM PATCH
MSB LSB NUMBER NUMBER

087 000 0-128 0-128
001 0-128 129-256
002 0-128 257-384
003 0-128 385-512

How can I apply this values into my V-synth or sequencer software?

Hi

I think, you would like to change the patches automatically with yours sequencer software, right?

First, download a little sysex tool on your pc:
Bome's SendSX
http://www.bome.com/midi/sendsx/
Configurate your midi settings in this tool

If you want to switch your actual patch e.g. to patch number 130 you have to type the following string into the midi out window in the sendsx tool (if you midi channel is 1):

b0 00 57
b0 20 01
c0 02

Now, press Send(F4).

I hope that's right, cause I don't have a V-Synth to test it.

Please tell me, if it works.
Michael

Hi,

what carthago suggests might be a very good way to go, I'm not sure because as I say I don't use software sequencers.

As for what I'm talking about it's quite easy.

You must send three MIDI events to the V-Synth to select a patch.

Bank Select MSB (value = 87)
Bank Select LSB (value = 0 .. 3)
Program Change (value = 1 .. 128)

Any sequencer that is worth its salt will let you create these kinds of MIDI events. I don't know cubase so can't tell you how to do it, but on every sequencer I've seen there is a "create event" option in the "step edit" mode that lets you create a single event of any type.

If you send (MSB=87, LSB=0, PC=1), patch 1 on the V should be selected. If you send (MSB=87, LSB=3, PC=4), patch 388 on the V should be selected.

Hope I didn't botch some detail here, but this is the basic idea anyhow.

Hope that helps,
