: Please help
: I'm looking for the "magic" sysex string to get the banks to change and have the LED screen relect this change.
: For instance, I'm running sequences between GM mode (GM bank) and Multitimbral (USER bank) and want simple parts to switch on the fly from one bank to the other.
: I have no problem switching in and out of GM mode using sysex commands, it's just the bank thing thats driving me to the brink of insanity.
: I use Unisyn and have recorded strings that appear to change banks in the "background", but it still occassionally yields poor results depending on which bank and set of programs were in the mix.
: My program is cubase.
What a small world! I came here today looking for this exact same answer. I read in the book "The MIDI Files" that continous controllers 0 and 32 are used for the feature. I just can't figure out how to get it to work.
My goal is to have the bank and program/patch information stored in the midi file so when I play it all the tracks are set up. I posted the same request in an Alesis mailing list. If I get the answer I'll post it here.
