Re: Logic Express and Roland RD700

2005-08-20 by lihitraot

Okay, I see what you mean.  Thanks for helping me out here!

But I'm still a touch confused.  How do I figure out what banks my Roland keyboard stores 
its sounds in?  The manual for the keyboard has a list of all the tones starting with 1 and 
going to 468.  These are grouped by MSB (87, 86, 121) and LSB (64 - 72, 000 - 004).  How 
do I divide these up into the Logic banks??

Thanks again for your help.  :)
