The documentation looks good to me. I have also managed to test bank switching with the Matrix-1000 with bankselecttype="2" in the rgd file and it works great. Thanks again. In the coming weeks or so I will send you via the mailing list a whole bunch of .rgd files that I've been working on (on and off for the past few weeks) as soon as they are complete.

Many thanks, I built the latest git master and tested the TG77 rgd file and can confirm that bank switching now works fine with the TG77. I didn't have the time to test the Matrix-1000 yet, but should be able to do that within a day or so, I will report back again after doing that.

Here is the complete TG77 RGD file I used for testing:

Thanks a lot for implementing this so quickly, that's a pleasant surprise, I really didn't expect that! But I must be doing something wrong as Rosegarden is still sending Bankselect MSB+LSB (CC0+CC32) despite having specified bankselecttype="1". I used the link here on SF to download the latest git snapshot, built it according to the instructions in the README and then imported the rgd file I created for the TG77 with bankselecttype="1" and connected it to the MIDI out device to which the TG77 is...

That looks reasonable to me with one correction: the Matrix-1000 can use either the ModWheel (CC01) or CC31 to switch banks, but from a sequencer program it's best to use CC31, and not the ModWheel, as changing the ModWheel value could interfere with the sound being played, while CC31 isn't used for anything else. So I would suggest calling the third mode 'CC31' and also implement it using CC31 like in the amidi examples in my previous post.

Just for confirmation I tested the bank switch method of the Oberheim Matrix-1000 with amidi: The following MIDI string (all in hex) will switch to Bank 4 Patch 31 =1F(hex): amidi -p "hw:2,0,1" -S "B01F7F C004 B01F00 C01F" And the following will switch to Bank 7 Patch 64=40(hex): amidi -p "hw:2,0,1" -S "B01F7F C007 B01F00 C040" Basically switching banks is done using a program change preceded by CC31 with any value in the range 40-7F(hex) and followed again by CC31 with any value below 40(hex) (I...
