Pasting Polish description:

Skoro SFX obsługuje te powiedzmy 64 instrumenty (bo nie pamietam dokładnie), to fajnie by było zasymulować polecenie BankChange.

Powiedzmy, że jeden bank to jest 9 instrumentów. Wtedy bym sobie ułożył isntrumenty obok siebie rodzajami, np. 9 różnych leadów, 9 krótkich dzwieków, 9 różnych rodzajów akordów, 9 instrumentów perkusyjnych, a w przyszłości może również 9 filtrowanych synthów PWM :)

Teraz, ze względu na ilość dostępnych skrótów Shift+Numer mam ulozone obok siebie 10 najbardziej potrzebnych instrumentów. Z symulacją BankChange miałbym o wiele więcej swobody.

Oczywście przy założeniu, że nie wykorzystujemy własnych mapowań do Shift+Numer, tylko, że 1, 11, 21,31, 41, etc to jest zawsze Shift+1.

I'm not touching this for now because I don't quite understand how it would work. I mean, I understand the idea of changing banks, but I don't know how it would work in the program.

I will leave this topic for Thursday's Zoom meeting.

OK, it only records here what was agreed upon at the meeting.

The keys that will offer functionality will be a combination of SHIFT and:

  • Q - for bank 1
  • W` - for bank 2
  • A - for bank 3
  • S` - for bank 4
  • Z' for bank 5
  • X' for bank 6

This arrangement is motivated by ergonomic accessibility in case of using computer keyboard and lack of available free keys in numeric zone.

The combination CONTROL+1 to 6 will be used for another task.

It just occurred to me...

It's a bit pointless to have these keys to change banks. After all, changing banks is done with a "technical" key on a MIDI device, and instrument change instructions send a different code.

You need a different approach here, not the one agreed upon at the meeting.
