Yikes! That is a lot! Thanks.

We did decide to limit it currently to 128 Banks, since that's the MIDI spec. Originally we had no limit, but it seemed unnecessary - 128 banks seemed to be enough.

Is there a limit to the number of banks? Patches are limited to 128, I do believe, but I have no recollection of seeing a bank limit. Sorry if this is a trivial question.

Ah, I should have corrected this....last time I had a chance to ask Julian about this, he said it doesn't matter! He changed to all caps in the new OS v1.2...so, I guess it was an unnecessary effort....sorry about that!

I converted the recent library that had all caps and made it bank 7, want me to share?

Here is an important reminder, to make sure that any user Presets are properly ordered.

The Solaris requires the following structure:

Presets/BankN/Patch/p0.pre, p01.pre, etc.

(Where N following Bank is the next available bank number in your Preset folder).

So, a typical folder setup would be: Presets/Bank7/Patch/p0.pre, etc.


thanks,
