I noticed that also.
When I imported the JV1010 it notes patches 1-128 in the 'Patch Names for Banks' in the 'Define Instuments and Names' category.

1) Proteus FX module, also having 4 banks, has "* = General MIDI" under that same category and the Proteus works fine.
2) Roland MBD-1 has 2 banks and is also "* = General MIDI" and works fine.
3) Roland MVS-1 has 2 banks and states "1-128" and works fine.

It has occured to me with the help here that maybe I need to choose a template that uses "0-127" for it to work properly?
Any thoughts about that possiblity?
Would that still be problematic because a patch of 000 would acually be 001 on the SGX a would still not behave accurately?
Thank you....

"usually", and I mean to qualify that, the GM bank has a unique MSB/LSB (right Craig ?) to select the GM and its subset bank.
 
I think if you had the wrong patch change message, ie:0 instead of 1 it would just throw your patch change off by one position..
 
I "think" I read you can change banks from the foot controller without touching the front panel, is that correct???
Did you say you have the foot controller? we may be able to capture its sys ex bank change message and then include it into your project..if indeed it is sys ex and not a true MSB/LSB..

No.....I do not have the X-15 foot controller.
I've checked the Nitro midi settings and all are enabled.
I tried the SGX midi choice to 'send all presets' and 'send entire MPT' to X2 via my 8portSE and no luck.
I don't know about the sysex file aspects of this dilemma or how I retrieve the sysex file to possibly send to X2?

I also noticed in the SGX midi parameters refers to "midi program 24 - preset 25" eluding to patches being off by one postition in the 0-127 midi call out.
A more applicable link about SGX midi I just found: http://www.glennthomas.net/art/sgxnitro/sgxnitro.htm
Although this may refer mainly to the SGX patch editor that he wrote which I don't really use.
 
Many thanks gents....

try this...

hook the MIDI OUT of your Nitro to the MIDI IN of your DAW

ARM atrack to record with the midi input of the repective midi port the Nitro is connected to

bring up the notro in that bank select page

hit record on the DAW

change a bank on the Nitro

stop record and examine in events pane to see if you see any midi info

if this fails, open the sys ex dump, set it to receive sys ex, go through the Nitro bank change routine from the front panel again...

see if you capture any sys ex..

hope this helps

I did try to send the midi presets on the Nitro to the DAW but no change. (post 12) Will do what you suggest and will advise on the results. Thanks for giving it some thought and commenting. "I'll be bock"
 
EDIT:
Tried your suggestion and NO midi events showed up.
 
Don't know the significance but just noticed (X2) that Edit/preferences/MIDI/playback the box IS checked for:
"Always use Sysex Banks for MIDI files (instead of Sysex Data)"
The box IS NOT checked for:
"Write Cabel Meta events to MIDI Files (port select).
 
Margarita anyone?....thank you.
