Patch Change, Roland RS-9, Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 XL
Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2003 6:28 pm
I am using a Roland RS-9 and Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 XL. I am having difficulty figuring out how to affect the patch change events I want from Cakewalk to the RS-9. I can get the result I desire by inserting a patch change event using what looks like the default GM patch bank descriptions in Cakewalk, but of course these do not match the 512 sounds in the RS-9 unless the RS-9 is in GM mode. And I can only get the desired result once I manually switch the RS-9 for each MIDI channel to the proper performance mode so it can switch to the patch I want.
There's got to be a way to define a bank(s) of patches in Cakewalk that match the complete library of patches in the RS-9 that will allow me to open a Cakewalk project, hit PLAY, and thus assign the patches I want to each MIDI channel in the RS-9 without any manual button-pushing on the RS-9.
Unfortunately, I have been out of the "MIDI world" for about ten years. Back then when I wanted to do a patch change I would simply insert a patch change event that "sent" a "patch number" to the keyboard/tone module and that was that.
Thanks for any help you can offer. I much appreciate it.
