[linux-audio-dev] MIDI bank select MSB + LSB

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? If yes, how should you handle that on synth/sampler side? Because you know, using just MSB messages would only allow to switch between the following set of banks: { 0, 128, 256, ... , 16256 } while using just LSB messages would only allow to switch between the following set of banks: { 0, 1, 2, ... , 127 } So should a synth stick with that behavior or should it detect if a device either only sends MSB bank selects or only sends LSB bank selects and then actually remap MSB-only selects to a set of: { 0, 1, 2, ... , 127 } CU Christian
