Instruments and Names dialog box to see if another one has the right patch names in it, and rename it
Var #01.
To Substitute and Rename a Patch List
1.
Use the Options-Instruments command to open the Assign Instruments dialog box, and click the
Define button to open the Define Instruments and Names dialog box.
2.
In the Names Tree window on the right, click the + sign on the Patches folder to expand the tree of
patch name lists.
3.
Scroll down to the Roland XP-10 Var #08 list and click its + sign to expand it.
4.
Compare the names on the Var #08 list with the patch names of the Vari 1 instruments on the
Roland's display screen. You'll see they are the same.
5.
Let's substitute the Var #08 list for the Var #01 list that SONAR currently lists as the XP-10's
second bank, which has a bank change number of 128:
•
In the Instruments tree in the left window, click the Roland XP-10 entry to expand it, and
then expand the Patch Names for Banks list that's directly under it.
•
Expand the Patch Names tree in the right window and find the Roland XP-10 Var #01 list (if
there is one) and right-click it to display the popup menu.
•
Choose Edit from the popup menu, and change the name from Roland XP-10 Var #01 to
Roland XP-10 Var #011.
•
In the same tree find the Roland XP-10 Var #08 list and change the name from Roland XP-10
Var #08 to Roland XP-10 Var #01.
•
Drag the newly renamed list from the Patch Names tree in the right window to the Patch
Names for Banks tree in the left window.
•
In the Bank Number dialog box, enter 128, and click OK.
6.
Click the Close button to close the Define Instruments and Names dialog box and click OK to close
the Assign Instruments and Names dialog box.
Examine the new bank and patch data in a track that uses 1-Roland XP-10 as an output. In the Bnk
field, select 128 Roland XP-10 Var #01, then look at the dropdown list of patches in the Pch field. The
list should now have the same names that the Roland keyboard uses for its Vari 1 bank.
The Roland XP-10, like most MIDI keyboards, allows you to create your own sounds and store them in
one or more User banks. You can create patch name lists in SONAR that are the same as the names you
gave to each of your own sounds.
Checking Bank Numbers
You can calculate bank numbers by using the methods described in "Assigning the Bank Select Method"
on page 509, but you might find it easier to use the following method:
To Check the Bank Numbers
1.
Set up a MIDI track to record from your MIDI keyboard or module.
2.
Click the Record button to start recording, and change banks on your keyboard.
3.
Stop recording, and open the Event List view.
4.
The bank change you recorded is displayed in the Event List view in this way: in the Data column
you'll see what kind of bank change method your keyboard uses (probably Normal), and in the
column to the right of that data is the number of the bank you changed to.
When we changed the Roland XP-10 to the User 1 bank, we recorded a bank number of 8192.
