Is it possible to make a harmony using GM2 sounds? I am wanting to use 40/3 Attack Pulse as the melody instrument and 91 Metheny as the harmony; but Metheny defaults the melody to Jazz Guitar on rendering. Any ideas how to get around this? I am using soft synths. Thanking you in advance... LFU2

The Metheny harmony directly sets the melody patch to the Jazz Guitar (as you note). One way around this is to edit the harmony itself. Harmony => "Edit current Harmonies File". In the Harmony Maker, set the melody patch to "no patch change." Or you could define a new harmony configured the same way. (There are copy and paste functions in the Harmony Maker.) Now you can choose the GM2 patch for the melody in the main window, and let the harmony file control everything else. Be sure the style is not controlling the melody patch.

Note that while you can assign a GM2 patch to the melody part from the main window, you can't choose a GM2 patch in the Harmony Maker window. So, no, the actual harmony voice(s) can not be GM2 higher bank, (but you can still do what you want.

I've noted another deficiency in GM2 implementation elsewhere, and reported it to support. No response yet.)
