No, the GUI will no longer have any concept of current or default banks and
bank root dirs. These will only apply to MIDI (or any later control entry).
Saved instruments and parameter sets already ignore them.

Not keen on NRPNs myself, it was a throwaway suggestion!

MIDI bank identification is a total mess, some vendors use LSB only, some use
MSB only, some set both while only responding to one or the other. This is why
we made Yoshi only respond to one *or* the other and you can select this in
'Settings'. Instruments (within a bank) are set with the Program Change CC,
which thankfully nobody has messed with!

The only concession we make with Yoshimi's non-standard number of instruments,
is that we allow a separate CC to be defined for instruments 129 to 160. In the
current version this column has a slightly different background colour and
there is a note about this at the bottom of the window.

Please continue to ramble :)
The more feedback the better!
