Oops, that's correct in most cases. There are a few (the E-mu Proteus VX is one) that don't use the 128 multiplier.

Hi, Slight correction, the bank number is the MSB * 128 + the LSB. This is how we combine the two raw values that go down the MIDI wire to the more convenient one bank number. Please also be aware that program numbers *always* go from 0 to 127 in QWS, some manuals list them from 1 to 128. Simply subtract 1. If you'd like, when you've finished and are happy with the list, please send it to me and I can upload it to the website. I hope this helps. James.
