I heard a rumour the other day, that there is a way to get past the Proteus patch mapping limitation (yeah, you got 390+ patches in there, but you gotta choose only 128 to respond to MIDI patch change instructions 0-127). I have mapped my Proteus-1 accordingly; but I do rather regret those unmapped sounds. I plan to call Emu, but I thought I woul check here and see if there is a secret and what it might be (a sysex message?) de .............................................................................. : De Clarke, Computing Resources Mgr.

There is a sysex to set the current program of the basic channel, which is the channel currently displayed in the LCD. There is also a sysex to set the basic channel. Between these two, you can set the program on any channel to any program. I don't have my manual with me, but in the back few pages are the sysex instructions. You send a basic channel sysex to set the display to the channel whose program you want to modify. Then you send a program number sysex to set the appropriate program. The sysex data format is signed 14 bit, split up into the bottom 7 bits of two successive bytes, so you can represent any program number up to 8191. -- Jefferson Ogata University of Maryland Computer Science Department "Animals without backbones hid from each other or fell down.
