Dave - you are correct -- that is exactly my issue.  

A MIDI file on disk, or sequencer software on my laptop connected to 
the piano can access/play all GM/XG voices using bank select.  

The difference comes in a 'live performance'.  On my DC1A, after 
pressing the VOICE button to layer a synth voice with the piano, I 
can bank select from the control unit using the front panel keys and 
have access to the full spectrum of XG voices for live performance 
layering.  On the DC7PRO I can access only the standard GM voices.  I 
have not found a way to have my laptop change the 'active voice' of 
the DC7PRO controller to select an XG voice that can then be played 
from the keyboard.  Have you found a way to achieve this using an 
external sequencer/laptop with software?

Looking for ideas......

Denis
