[Rosegarden-user] Banks - MSB and LSB values

[Andrew <no...@fl...>]

I apologize ahead of time - my question is probably broader in scope than RG, but is RG-relevant.

Switching banks seems like an intuitive no-brainer, looking at the banks dialog as well as at the "Instrument Parameters" section in the left panel in main window. Or even at the XML syntax and values of the *.rgd files.

However, i've tried two keyboards thus far -- Korg X5D and the old Roland D10 -- and have not been able to send write signals to the second bank.

Most recently, with the Roland D10 :

I have transcribed all the instrument name and imported them into an *.rgd file (using Roland D50 rgd as template, primarily). When I load this newly created bank, it shows up correctly in the Instrument Panel. But no matter which of the two banks I choose -- A or B -- the Roland plays stuff in its bank A.  (When Bank B is select and one of its instruments, the Roland plays the Bank A instrument that numerically corresponds to the selected Bank B instrument)

Here is what I have in the roland-D10.rgd:

<bank name="Bank-A" msb="0" lsb="0">
...
</bank>

and 

<bank name="Bank-B" msb="1" lsb="0">
...
</bank>

Judging from the Roland's behavior, it seems the MSB value has no effect. If it does not, what does? How do I send writes to alternate banks?

Thanks!
