Her er en mere omfattende instruktion, som jeg har hentet på support siderne. Det er på engelsk, men det er formodentlig ikke et problem:
You can manually create a patch map by using a simple word processor, such as TextEdit. We will use the Roland SC8820 as our synthesizer example.
If you want to add comments to the PAT file you must insert a semi-colon. Here is an example:
; This is how you would add comments to a pat file.
; You can add as many comments into the file as you wish
; as long as you insert a semi-colon. It is a good idea to
; include some basic documentation - information about what
; synthesizer(s) the patch map can be used with, and what
; banks of sounds it allows you to access.
One thing you will need to know is which controller your synth or module uses to send bank changes. This information can usually be found in your synth documentation. As a general rule:
Roland uses controller 0 (MSB)
Yamaha uses controller 32 (LSB)
Korg will often use both or a combination
You enter patches into your patch map using the following format:
<patch/program change>.<bank0/controller#0/MSB>.<bank32/Controller#32/LSB>=PatchName
Your first bank should consist of 128 patches. In most cases this is the GM bank which is Bank 0. You do not need a header for Bank 0 like you would with the other banks, and you only need the patch number. For other banks, you need to insert a header, such as "[Bank 1]". Below is a sample patch map. Note that in this example, Bank 0 only has 7 patches. Normally there would be 128.

1=Piano 1
2=Piano 2
3=Piano 3
4=Honky-tonk
5=E.Piano 1
6=E.Piano 2
7=Harpsichord
[Bank 1]
1.1=Upright Piano
2.1=Pop Piano
3.1=EG+Rhodes 1
6.1=E.Piano 3
7.1=Harpsichord2
8.1=Clav. 2
9.1=Pop Celesta
[Bank 2]
1.2=Mild Piano
2.2=Rock Piano
3.2=EG+Rhodes 2
7.2=Harpsichord 3
8.2=Atk. Clav.1
16.2=Santur 3
17.2=Ful Organ 1
--------------------
As an example, let's look at Bank 1. The first instrument is Patch number 1, Bank (MSB) 1, and the instrument name is Upright Piano.
Some synths or modules use controller 32, which is also known as LSB. It follows the same principle as above. Below is a sample patch map.
--------------------
; This is an example of controller 32, as well a synth that uses
; both controller 0 and 32.
; In this case, you do not need to enter a bank header like the Controller 0 patch maps
1=Piano 1
2=Piano 2
3=Piano 3
4=Honky-tonk
5=E.Piano 1
6=E.Piano 2
7=Harpsichord
1.0.1=Upright Piano
2.0.1=Pop Piano
3.0.1=EG+Rhodes 1
6.2.1=E.Piano 3
7.2.12=Harpsichord2
8.2.12=Clav. 2
9.2.12=Pop Celesta
--------------------
Again the first number represents the Patch number. The second number represents the controller 0 bank number, and the third number is the controller 32 bank number.
1.0.1=Upright Piano
Patch number 1, controller 0 bank 0, controller 32 bank 1.
6.2.1=E.Piano 3
Patch number 6, controller 0 bank 2, controller 32 bank 1.
9.2.12=Pop Celesta
Patch number 9, controller 0 bank 2, controller 32 bank 12.
Once you have finished creating your file, give it a name such as "MyPat.pat". "MyPat" can be any name you choose. Put your patch (*.Pat) file that you created into your Band-in-a-Box Folder (usually C:\bb), and you are finished. If you create a patch map that is not available for download on our website, and you would like to share it with other Band-in-a-Box users, please email the file as an attachment to
