Andrew,

Thank you for your lengthy response.

However, a simple question is still unanswered. Can these patch settings be set up system wide, or must they be called up for each song?

I have the patch map for my synth working fine.

The patch controls in the main window appear to reset with each newly loaded song. This would be a song by song approach. I understand it, but I am asking if there is a system approach.

I made a custom *.dk file, but it does not automatically reload. I also 'saved' the settings to mysettings.dk, but that does not bring up the settings either ... I just get the original default parameters as soon as I load a new song. The next song seems to revert to the '0' data values in MSB and LSB controllers. Are you saying it should be able to remain in place as a system setting or that I have to reload it everytime I want to use anything other than the default settings?

I will carefully go over your suggestions and reread the manual. Perhaps it is a simple as having failed to tick the 'enable advanced settings.' I hope so.

Thank you.
