- Subject: HELP NEEDED : Auditioning Patches
-
- I've posted this before to the rec.music.makers.synth groups etc.
- but have never been able to get a firm repsonse on this. I have
- GUS MAX, and MQX-16 interface hooked up to Roland EM-303 GM Synth. Now
- according to the manual you should be able to audition patches
- using a MIDI keyboard. I have the MIDI Thru switch switched to
- whatever the manual says etc. but when I play the keyboard, nothing happens!
- Now I have checked the MIDI stream and indeed MIDI signal are reaching
- the computer all on Channel 4 (this is one of those synths with fixed channels -
- cannot change anything at all). The GUS is working since the computer "keyboard"
- does audition the patches. I have tried changing EVEYRTHING I can think of
- but to no avail. The only time the Patch Manager seems to work with the keyboard is when Cakewalk is running, since Cakewalk is somehow linking the
- two and updating the patch cache correctly. But I'd rather not use Cakewalk
- all the time if possible. My system comprises of :
-
- * 386/33 AMD clone with Intel 387 co-pro
- * Oak VGA monitor
- * MQX-16
- * GUS MAX
- * Roland EM-303
- * Windows 3.1 using Norton Desktop 2.0
- * Stacker 4.0
-
- I have tried removing NDW 2.0 and running a bare system, etc.
- but the SAME problem exists. Does the GUS MAX expect all keyboard
- signals on Channel 1 and Channel 1 only???? If so, are there are ways to change
- this???? I haven't tried Patch-Eze yet so this may work but
- for now any suggestions? I wrote Gravis 3 months ago about this problem
- but no response. I may have to call them but if anyone has run into this
- prob before, could they please e-mail me ASAP at jlaw@irus.rr.uwo.ca???
- Thanks! :-)
