Hi Prado,

The answer to your original question is no, there's no adjustable global parameter for CC0 or CC32. I've requested it in the past also, because I have the same situation as you. (My synth has GM bank at MSB=0 and LSB =1. I can either constrain it to that bank only, or leave all banks accessible, same as you. Or, of course, use my patch map.) Andrew's assertion that it's "normal" for GM to have both MSB and LSB set to zero has been reflected in the program forever. Yet - and I've mentioned this before - I believe the "normality" stems from the original midi spec, which had only 128 voices defined. I've never found an explicit statement in the current MIDI spec that the GM bank must be at MSB=LSB=0.

Unfortunately, we're a small minority. I'd have thought it'd be a simple adjustment to provide global control for CC0 and CC32. Hopefully it'll happen one day. Meantime, we can work around as Andrew described. (As Mac alluded, over time, PG has improved features relating to upper bank control. Much appreciated here.)

Incidentally, FWIW, the MSB and LSB spinners on the main screen only increment in octals (build 294). The only way to enter non octal multiples (with these controls) is to left click and use the popup.

EDIT - My post crossed Andrew's. Reminds me to mention that I - and I'd assume others - use more than one sound source. Softsynth, sound font, external hardware. As mentioned, the latter GM bank is at LSB=1. Hence the impulse to request globally adjustable MSB and LSB. Understood Andrew's suggestion is the preferred workaround.
