How are you getting on with the PC3? I'm just on the verge of buying the 76 note version (not so hard on the back for gigging) having saved all my pocket money!

Still very happy with it. I hope you get a chance to have a good play with one before you purchase. Not eveyone likes them.

I got it this morning and WOW!

Congratulations. I guess you were able to convince Mrs. jeff :)

Thankfully yes.

I'm struggling with this as well, and I'm not sure I understand the proposed fix above (other than to remember the last patch in every bank is listed in the subsequent bank within Sonar). Is there a way to make this work through changing the bank select method? I tried several scenarios and didn't seem to find one that worked, but I may not be thinking about it correctly. Anybody got an INS file working for the PCx series they can share? I didn't see one on http://www.cakewalk.com or http://www.cakewalknet.com. I just got the PC361, and have built an INS file that generally works as far as selecting patch names except for this issue. All thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

I've not had any luck finding a solution to this. Apparently, some older kurzweils were capable of remapping this, but Kurzweil have informed me that this isn't going to happen with the PC3 series.

I just stumbled on this thread. Not sure there's a solution, but have not seen the problem with the PC2X. I notice in my master .ins file, and in the default, in some places there's this line:

Patch

=1..128

and in others there's this:

Patch

=0..127

Assuming this is some sort of scaling function, I wonder if the following might solve the problem:

Patch

=2..129

Just a thought. -Ron

Edit - In preview, those lines are not showing right. They are Patch['asterisk']=0...127 etc.

Later Edit - As I look more closely at master.ins, I think the asterisk line covers all banks for which there is no explicit bank entry. So what's probably better is to have (as I do) a series of Patch[x] lines, where x is each bank. These go in the instrument definitions section under the Kurz section. Mine looks like this:

.Instrument Definitions

[Kurzweil PC2X]
Control=PC2X Controllers
Patch[1]=General MIDI
Patch[0]=PC2X Bank 0
Patch[2]=PC2X Bank 2
Patch[4]=PC2X KB3 Bank
Patch[6]=PC2X Bank 6
Patch[7]=Drums
Patch['*']=General MIDI (posting note: remove quotes)
Key[7,*]=General MIDI Drums
Key[1,*]=Diatonic
Drum[7,*]=1

The strings to the right of the "=" for each Patch line is a header in the .Patch Names region.

Thanks. That looks promising. I'll have a go at it tomorrow.

 
 Thanks for the info Ron, but unfortunately none of that works. 
 
 The Patch[*] line is just for unnamed banks, as you said, and even then it still outputs patch numbers 0-127
