Hi,
I think it would be useful to know about various plugins as to whether it is possible to extract patches into a device description or not.
Here is what I've found so far, with Synfire 2 Express (2.3.7) -
Working extracts:
Korg M1
Korg WS
Waldorf Largo (but no bank select - it must be done in the plugin)
Failed extracts:
Korg Mono/Poly
Korg Triton (I could see patches being selected, but names were not returned!)
Korg Triton Extreme (I could see patches being selected, but names were not returned!)
Arturia Analog Lab V (VST2, VST3)
Roli Equator 2
Arturia B3 V2
Cherry Audio PS-20 (I could see patches being selected, but names were not returned!)
I would welcome the experience of others here, as it is a waste for people to pursue that which isn't going to work.

I also note that I tried the 'Korg MS-20 (VST)' description from the repository.
Unf. for some reason, my Korg MS-20 plugin does not change patches when I select different patch names in that device. Too bad, because it looks like a good list.
Nor could I build my own MS-20 patch list. It seems the plugin doesn't connect/respond to Synfire.
It makes me wonder how bmanpro created that list in the first place! (?)

Extraction worked fine with Mono/Poly and Polysix version 1.7.
Only after v2 they no longer respond. We contacted Korg developers. It is now up to them. Maybe it helps if you also request to restore the old bank selection and program selection behavior.
