search function in device and program selector and selecting proper MSB/LSB combination

Posted

The Device list for Motif 6,7,8 has an even larger number of MSB/LSB permutations than the Tyros..  You need the Motif Voice Assignment manual to find the MSB/LSB combination.  Since SFP's device list only displays 9 banks,  and the Motif has many. many more than that it is next to impossible to find the proper combination to get the correct instrument.  For instance Preset Bank 8 (which is MSB=63, LSB=7). The only way to find the right combination is to haphazardly pick programs (which may not even be in the same family as the group you want), until you get the right MSB/LSB combination..  Then you have to select program number looking at manual or the Motif editor application (unfortunetly the Motif editor lists MSB/LSB by Bank Name and not the LSB/MSB #'s. (Which really is their fault)..  

None the less that leaves the responsibility to either SPF Device list (which as I already mentioned is short a huge number of MSB/LSB combinations.  Or it is up to the user, to blindly select instruments until he finds the right MSB/LSB combination.

Again, access to MSB/LSB combinations on intrument parameter page would be hugely helpful..  The list of organs alone in Motif is overwhelming.. It would be helpful if both device list, and instrament parameters had a 'search' function

 

Fortunately (or thanx to Andre for his foresight), you can select a different MSB/LSB combination for one particular instrument, and that is relayed to parameter page and left intact, even if you create another Motif instrument with a different MSB/LSB combination.
