Hi everybody!
I wonder what's the common behavior for a synth/sampler regarding MIDI
bank
select messages. You might know that MIDI has
splitted bank indeces into
two
values MSB (coarse) and LSB (fine) value. So the
"optimal" behavior
would be
a device / sequencer to send a MSB and a LSB bank
select message to
change
the current bank. But many older keyboards for
example won't do that.
I've
heard most of them only send MSB bank selects,
while few others send
only LSB
bank selects. Is that true?
hello,
i haven't seen such a keyboard sice around 1995. I dont think that
any recent midi keyboard uses MSB only (or LSB only) bank
controllers.
Actually the CME UF-8 only has program change, no bank change, so I guess
it's one of them. This keyboard appeared in 2005.
