MIDI Bank Select?

Russ · Aug 27, 2009, 11:09 PM

I was just wondering why kX uses MIDI CC# 0 as LSB and CC# 32 as MSB for bank selection, which is opposite from the MIDI specification? Is there any particular reason for this?

On a side note, I noticed that (coincidentally?) the 'Help' docs for MIDI-OX (regarding it's bank selection panel) also lists them this way (opposite of the spec), but in actual use, it appears to follow the spec.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the way original Live drivers supported bank selection (or even AWE64/AWE32 drivers

), so, I kept it for compatibility
