Sound banks

[patouse]

Is it just me or this program is not really intuitive?
Here's my problem:
I have 1300 Yamaha DX7 patches in my document and everything
is sorted in alphabetical order. How do I create different banks??
I need to have a bank for all my horn sounds, basses, FX, etc...

Sure there are keywords, but I also need to have banks that are not
"sound type" oriented. Let me explain: When I perform live, I need to be
able to load a different bank of sounds (of different types) for every song... Like:
-Bank1/Song1 (Synth, horns, bass, harmonica, strings, violin, etc...)
-Bank2/Song2 (Pad, guitar, sitar, drums, sound FX, etc...)
-Bank3/Song3 .....
-Bank4......

Now I see 1300 patches in front of me and the only way to classify them
is with keywords?? Can't be it... There must be a way of creating banks and dragging the sounds I want in them!

There's no "create bank" menu, no "add to bank" option on the sounds.

Please help
Thanks
Pat

Make a new document and drag the sounds you want into it.

You can also organize all of your patches and banks in the midnam patchfile using a program like CherryPicker.

This won't make any difference to how they are actually organized inside your synth - but it will change what you see in DP's patch popups.

Since most patches are usually in your synth's ROM, this is the way to go - Unisyn cannot actually move your ROM patches around inside your synth, only the RAM ones.

Check out the documentation for CherryPicker's 'custom banks' and 'auditioning' features. (It's online at: www.alterspective.com/cherrypicker)
