If a MIDI message is received calling for a voice bank that doesn't

Leave everything exactly as it is
Chose a bank closest numerically to the one called for
Switch to a default bank
Any of the above with a warning message
AFAICS, switch to an empty patch (no sound)
No, if the voice number doesn't exist, then there's no way to select it
and the synth does use the current sound and not try to select something
that doesn't exist. But I guess the problem is bank select and not
voice select. Sure, if an empty, or INIT VOICE sound exists for the
program change, it will be selected. For a DX7 it would be an annoying
sine wave.
