Ok, so they replied and I now know how to change the banks in TTS-1.
(I'm sure you already know how to change LSB/MSB settings, but let me give a step-by-step instruction as it might help other users)
1. Power on the A-Pro hardware.
2. Launch Sonar and open a project. Sonar automatically sends the Sonar ACT map to the A-Pro and the ACT button lights up, as usual.
3. Switch off the ACT button (the light goes off).
4. Load TTS-1.
5. Simultaneously press the ACT button and the left arrow button on the A-Pro and select "Function" by turning the Value knob, then press the same knob.
6. Turn the Value knob and select "BANK MSB" and press the knob again.
7. Turn the Value knob and select 121, which is the MSB value for TTS-1's GM2 Normal presets (this is what I didn't know).
8. Simultaneously press the ACT button and the left arrow button and select "Function" again, then press the knob again.
9. Turn the Value knob and, this time, select "BANK LSB" and press the knob.
10. Play the A-Pro keyboard and, of course, you'll hear a piano sound (Piano 1).
11. Press the left arrow button on the A-Pro until you see "PGM CHANGE."
12. Turn the Value knob and select "5" (to make it easy to confirm the bank change, because it has larger banks).
13. Play the A-Pro keyboard, and you'll hear the sound of "E.Piano 2" (preset number 6).
14. Press the right arrow button on the A-Pro until you see "BANK LSB."
15. While playing the keyboard with the right hand, turn the Value knob with the left hand. You'll see/hear the change of banks/sounds. Of course, if you press the left arrow key and go back to "PGM CHANGE" and turn the Value knob, you can change the presets again.
Did this help? Try the same with the synths you have (check which MSB number(s) you are supposed to use first).
Thanks
