Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] patch auditioning

More on the patch auditioning bug...

It seems to be more than that.  Not only does "Send" not work (for 
sending a single patch to the ESQ-1 edit buffer), but also a "Store" 
doesn't work either (to actually store a patch in a regular patch 
memory).  Since I can successfully do sysex dumps of whole banks in 
either direction, that means there's no Midi communication problem, and 
it appears the ESQ-1 driver is completely broken with regard to any 
sending of single patches.

It's sending only though, because I *can* receive a single patch and 
store it in a library.

So here's a matrix of what works and doesn't.  I can only test the ESQ-1 
driver, since that's the only synth I have with JSynthLib support:

Bank send:	OK
Bank receive:	OK
Patch send:	broken
Patch receive:	OK
Patch audition:	broken

And the additional oddity that it puts up a warning dialog when you try 
to send a single patch saying you'll have to acknowledge afterward from 
the ESQ-1 front panel.  I have Emagic SoundDiver for Windows, and it 
doesn't require acknowledgement from the ESQ-1 after sending a patch. 
Somewhat moot since no patch ever actually arrives, but still strange 
that the JSynthLib driver expects the ESQ-1 will want that.

Anyway, it seems to be more of a single-patch send bug rather than just 
an auditioning bug.
