-
- Yes, well, from all controllers lower than 32 (0-31) the
- controller number 0-31 is the LSB (least significant byte)
- of the data sent, controllers 32 to 63 are the same
- controllers but the MSB (most significant byte) (or is it
- vice versa? I can't recall this because I am at work)
- So:
- Controller 0, bank select LSB
- Controller 32, bank select MSB
-
- Remember that data bytes in MIDI talk can only range from
- 0-127 (7 bits), thus:
- Bank 1024
- Controller 0, data byte 1024-128*Controller 32
- Controller 32, data byte 1024/128 (integer number)
- In this case Controller 0 = 0
- Controller 32 = 8
-
- However, when I put this bankselect event in a MIDI file
- with my sequencer (WinJammer 2.30, good stuff!) the GUS
- midi driver don't switch banks. Funny, because with
- PatchManager/BankManager I can do this manually.
-
- As another question in the digest: it would be nice to have
- an overview on all controllers which the latest GUS drivers
- respond to.
