They should have bank selects.  I seem to remember someone in our sound 
department having problems with bank selects in Digital Performer.  We 
had her do something with OMS (I think; I'm not a Mac guy) that enabled 
them to show up in DP.  They are there though.  Be careful, because as I 
remember, DP was stripping out bank selects upon resave.

Huh?  Do you have some non-english manual?

Unfortunately, that's the most recent document we have.  I believe the 
preset dump is identical.  The multisetup dump has changed radically. 
 Each of the individual parameter IDs and parmeter set commands are the 
same.
