Hi All

Haven't posted here in a while.
Hope everyone is doing well, and playing a lot of "good" music!!

I am trying to get BIAB 2007 to play the patches of my Yamaha MO8 synth.

I've made all the necessary changes in "Utilities > Choose Patches From Higher Banks", but the sounds are not correct for the synth.
After changing these paremeters, I still cannot change the voices in BIAB from my MO8.

On top of that, certain instruments soud as if they're an octave too low!

Any Help?

Harpo

(I'll also do a search)


It's not what you're "Playing", It's what you're "Saying"!

Look under support for a .pat file and figure out how to use it. I don't know if any of the Yamaha .pat files there are the same as yours. Worst case, check the examples, and write a short one for the sounds you want to use.

Lots of .pat file examples there...

Hi harpo,

Yamaha MIDI is "zero based".

This means that Patch #001 in most other synths is Patch #000 on Yamaha synths.

And it continues throughout that way.

"Roland-based" is "one-based" or 001 thru 128

"Yamaha-based" or "zero-based, the same patches are 000 thru 127

Inside BiaB in the GM menu is a setting to change BiaB to send Yamaha style, be sure to check that setting to true.
