Problems regarding bank select for my external synth
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2016 1:27 pm
I've got a Casio XW-P1 connected to my computer via USB and I can't for the life of me get access to all of the patches that are available on the keyboard. There's no midnam file for the synth, so all of my patches appear as "Patch 1, Patch 2,..." All of these patches are the default general MIDI sounds. Granted, they're all coming from the synth, but there's so much more to the keyboard than general MIDI.
I've tried changing the bank by inserting a patch change via event information/event list. Every time I place a different number in the bank select 0 or bank select 32 window, it does nothing. And if I pick a different patch from the drop down menu, they either default back to 0 in the event information screen, or "-" in the Event List screen. If I try and do anything in Event List it often leads to a freeze and I have to hard-exit DP.
What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to change on the synth side or is it on the software side? I created a bundle for the XW-P1 with channel one set to transmit and then channels 1-16 set on receive as well as program change and bank msb. Nothing else is checked. The I/O is set to CASIO-USB.
