- Subject: Bank switching ?
-
- I just installed Pro Pats 3. I'd like to keep them as well the patches of
- my own out from the ULTRASND\MIDI directory. Actually I'd like to have
- all my patches stored in different directories related the type of the patches.
- (basses/pianos/strings/...) Unfortunately it's not possible to assign different
- bank for each midi channel. (I just liked to select the bank from the CW3.)
- Has anybody heard about possible future improvements ? Yes, I'm aware of
- PP3 config possibilities. It's just too messy to copy patches back and forth.
-
- I guess, I just have to stick with two or three huge patch directories.
- Could you give me some ideas on how to take care of swithing the patch directory ?
- I wouldn't like to restart windows every time I change the dir.
-
- The idea of storing the modified bank over the bank 0 in PatchManager is not
- that bad, but it seems to only change the patch configuration not the patch
- directory. IS THIS A BUG ? Or have I done something wrong ?

-
- I've got Cubase For Windows V1.02, which seems to be a stripped down version
- of Cubase Score (V2.5).
-
- It's my understanding that no version of Cubase supports patch caching at the
- moment. I've been in touch with Steinberg-Jones regarding this, and if more
- people do the same, we'll eventually get GUS support.
-
- Lack of patch caching means that using Cubase for auditioning a bunch of midi
- files is a real pain. However for creative use, I tend to keep an open Patch
- Manager window for the infrequent occasions when I need to change a patch, and
- it's not really a problem.
-
- I have to say that if I'd known when I bought it that I'd end up buying a
- soundcard that Cubase didn't support but Cakewalk did.... I'd still have
- bought Cubase!

- Tuomas,
-
- I have a GUS and I am using Cubase Score 1.10. This version uses patch
- caching. Contrary as with Cakewalk for Windows, there is no need to do
- specific actions. With CW for W you have to use a 'refresh' function
- from one of the drop-down menu's.
- If I were you I would buy Cubase Score for Windows (its expensive)
- but it works well.
- I am sure that Cubase v.2.5 will not give caching, may be V.3

-
- My setup is V3.57 & WFW 3.11. I have my mouse cursor when windoze
- starts up, but eventually the mouse cursor freezes and won't move
- anymore. Windoze is still active - I can shut it down using the
- keyboard.
-
- Anybody out there with a clue?
