I'm a good six hours into connecting my Roland Integra 7 with BIAB. Using USB cable, selected the Integra 7 midi drivers, selected the Integra 7 .pat file that's located in the BB folder.
I can load a midi style or a midi file and the Integra 7 'sees' the midi data and plays the correct gm instrument and the correct instrument displays on the integra 7 screen. IE - fretless bass is on channel one in BIAB mixer and also on Integra. Acoustic guitar on channel 7 and also on channel 7 of the integra. Hit play and the song plays GM through the integra. The integra correctly follows the chord progression and style.
But - if I select a new instrument from the .pat file, the BIAB mixer shows the selection, so does the integra, but it does not play the correct instrument. Also, if I access the .pat file and select a new acoustic guitar, none of the choices are guitars.
If I load a midi file of a song, for instance, Wichita Lineman, Coyote or MS wavetable synth will play the correct notes and melody but the sounds are cheesy. If I assign Integra 7 as the midi output, it plays the channels, plays pretty music, but it is not Wichita Lineman. It is playing a style. If I play the midi song before activating the style, there is no audio. Once I activate the style, then the integra plays the correct chord progression, key and tempo, but plays the style rather than the midi song. If I assign another instrument such as a better guitar on channel 7, when I hit the play button, the channel reverts to the cheesy GM sound.
The .pat file does not play any of the SRX modules... that is intentional according to the readme text file.
The biggest disappointment is not getting the integra to play any of the midi songs. I have thousands on USB drives.
I'm boxing it up tomorrow and sending it to attic storage. It's a sad day here.
