Yes, exactly. I.e. Banksel method 0 means full 14 bit addressing which is (MSB << 7) + LSB Vogoner's have absolutely no idea what they are missing. I think I need to spread the word. 😀. The release will need a little bit more polish and testing.

Hi, Another AV error. Fixed. This was also delay related. The side-effect of the fix that you can not delete loaded files fast ( the ones with the arrow) you have to wait while another is loaded (together with the set delay). The slowdown does not affect unloaded (arrow-less)files on the list. CTF: …

Yeah, right but at the present (without the code modification I have mentioned) the fallback will be MSB:0 LSB:0. (And not MSB:x LSB:0 as would be ideal) [Edit] Maybe you'll find a better solution than to modify a huge list of instruments? I'm almost sure that .ins files for all Roland devices can …

Hi, II don't understand this: Patch[128]=Roland GS Var #01. But I can explain in language. If CC#32 != 0-4, CC#32 = 0. If CC#32 = 0, CC#32 = 0. If CC#32 = 1, CC#32 = 1. If CC#32 = 2, CC#32 = 2. If CC#32 = 3, CC#32 = 3. If CC#32 = 4, CC#32 = 4. That's exactly what my previous suggestion does if you …

I have an SC-8850 ins file, maybe this can be used as a base.

Hi, Patch[128]=Roland GS Var #01 Patch[129]=Roland GS Var #01 Patch[130]=Roland GS Var #01 ... Patch[256]=Roland GS Var #02 Patch[257]=Roland GS Var #02 Patch[258]=Roland GS Var #02 This way you can cover the 0..xx LSB values with BankSelMethod = 0. On the second hand, I should not use instrument …

The most obvious solution (without modifying program code) is to write an ins file that addresses the proper banks as MSB+LSB (BankSelMethod = 0 intead of 1 like in most GS based .ins files). This way any bank where LSB != 0 would be considered invalid so CTF would happen. PS. BankSelMethod = 0 old …

Hi, New test version on the usual location. I think the crash was due to the reset was too delayed at program close. Can we do something about random/wrong LSB (CC#32)? I hope we can, but I need a more detailed explanation about what the problem exactly is. [EDIT] When MSB is 0, 8, 16, 24 etc (has …

The whole point of CTF is to make the SC-55 MKII (or later) behave like SC-55 MK1. Then clearly our aims are different and using 'CTF' in both cases is ambiguous. For me the most important aspect of implementing a 'CTF like' feature is to prevent some synths to stay silent (e.g. MS Soft Synth) or …

Hi, Channel 10 Drums should fall to Patch capital not only Bank capital (0), (not what happens now). Ok, I have not implemented Drums fallback at all so far. Instrument patches that have a variation should fall to Sub-Capital (next lowest variation) also. Are you sure ? I don't think it is correct …

Hi, Maybe the player should have an option to wait till all the patch list is done (including Pan, Volume, Reverb, Chorus, etc..) before starting playing? I have added a new compatibility option you should try it. Main menu->Compatibility -> Set missing defaults. You should try to disable this. This …

Ok, I got it. Sometimes it's problematic that I'm not an English native speaker.

Unfortunately, I cannot prevent this. It's a side effect of the main form becoming resizeable. I have already handled WM_NCHITTEST in horizontal directions but it only removed the visual resize indicators, Windows still tries to resize it. Anyway I think it is absolutely harmless.

Thanks, good catches :) 1. Typo fixed. 2. Player saves/restores height of 'Show playlist & Piano' state. 3. Top border is now draggable just like the bottom and enables resize. 'Show border' option is removed from appearance menu since it is no longer an aesthetic preference. Off state would break …
