Importing old sound banks
The other day, I decided to break out my old SC-88 and Micro-Piano and M1. Got them up and running but can not figure out how to get the sound banks to say other than Patch1, Patch2 etc... Do I need to buy a third party software for this or is there a way to to this in DP8? I remember older version of DP where you could do this in the MIDI set-up.

Re: Importing old sound banks
You can choose the correct .midnam files for a synth or expansion card by opening the "Bundles" window, choosing "MIDI Devices," then double-clicking the name of the device and choosing "Patches" in the new window, but.... there is a "Default" setting that should be showing the patch names for the given synth; that is, if DP recognizes the synth and has a .midnam patch list available.
