Re: Cakewalk .INS question

2006-08-26 by steve_the_composer

Diagnostic questions:
Which ROMS do you have installed?
Do USER presets have the same problem?
Do all installed ROMS have the same problem?

Have you looked at the *.ins files in this folder:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/files/Command%20Station%20Data/

Compare your *.ins definitions with those in p2k-all.ins file. It 
sounds like you are not using the right bank switching values for the 
ROMs you have. When Sonar tells the MP7 to switch to a bank that you 
don't have a ROM for, that's the message you get (ROM NOT INSTALLED).

=============================================================
EXAMPLE [exceerpts from *.ins file using AOrch ROM in P2500]:

.Patch Names

[E-MU P2k: Advanced Orchestra: Bank 0 (8448)]
0=cmb:AdvancedOrch
1=cmb:Traditional
2=str:LegatoString
3=cmb:Orch Split
etc.

.Instrument Definitions

[E-MU Proteus 2500]
Patch[8449]=E-MU P2k: Advanced Orchestra: Bank 1 (8449)
Patch[8448]=E-MU P2k: Advanced Orchestra: Bank 0 (8448)

=============================================================
AOrch MSB = 66 [Find MSB of ROM by pressing audition]
66*128 8448
Therefore, Bank 0 of the AOrch ROM is accessed as Patch[8448].
Bank 1 is Patch[8449].

If you try to switch to bank 8457, the E-Mu will look for bank 9 in 
the ROM whose MSB is 66 and you will get the ROM NOT INSTALLED message.
If you try to switch to bank 9, the E-Mu will look for bank 9 in User 
memory.

You may know all this, but maybe not. Hope it helps.
