okay...have now got it sorted, but still can't get Cakewalk to recognise individual instrumant names (am having to use Sonic kit names) but am still not impressed with drum sounds...shame cos everything else about the sonic is all good..

It's the SRX 03 Studio..In particular the XPA rhythm kits...WideRock, Wide Jazz, TightRoom,3rd Ballad etc..these don't seem to have the same mapping as the Preset or GM kits...

<t>Hi Folks<br/> Have recently expanded my sonic cell with the SRX studio board.<br/> Have never been a fan of the on-board drum sounds and wondered if there was any way of mapping the SRX drums so that they are the same as the GM...Does anyone have any suggestins for this? (I am hoping that the SRX...

that's what I call quick! Thanks very much PiaKnowGuy!!!

Hi folks
Have just bought the SRX o3 expansion board. Can anyone tell me how to set up cakewalk so I can allocate the patches to the various midi tracks?

good idea...I think I'll do the same.. nice one Tom

I got no response from Roland (there's a shock) so continued to write my own reset which I have now put onto the end of allmidis..
It works perfectly and resets to factory settings prior to loading the new midi...it also means Idon't get the GM sounds unless I want them...Brilliant!!!

Hi
Can anybody tell me if there is a bit of sysex code that I can put onto the end of every midi which will perform the same function as the "Perf Init" option?

I agree with you totally..some of the sounds are amazing (some of the guitars are great) but I was very disappointed with the GM drums..guess there have to be some cutbacks somewhere eh

<t>Thinking about it though, that would only work on a GM/GS reset would it not? I tend to use the SC voices even though I'm using Midifiles...I have to remove the GM/GS messages at the start of each midi, otherwise I get all sorts of wierd & not so wonderful sounds (bagpipes instead of guitars ...

That's a great idea..
I think I'll give it a go
Cheers

<t>Used my SC for the first time live the other night as a midi player.(replaced my Dr Synth)<br/> I "init perf" after every song to reset the SC (Didn't have to do this with the Dr Synth)<br/> However, to my horror, one song played the guitar track a full tone above every other track..had to turn o...

Is there a midi control change which I can add to the start of my smf's to "perf init" without having to do it manually?

<t>Hi all. I love the Sonic Cell and all of it's sounds. Am using it as a player for my SMFs.<br/> However..can some kind soul help me with a little problem...<br/> <br/> I've managed to load some sonic patches into Cakewalk.<br/> Only problem is, whatever variation of GM bank I choose, unless I go ...

Thanks very much..I'll try that out as soon as...
